Why Money Isn’t Important

by Paul Legan on November 17, 2008

Money scales well.  Think about it.  The more you work, in general, the more you make.  Sure it may not feel like that in some jobs, and obviously I can’t speak for everyone, but more often than not, working more hours yields more money, either through wage or promotion.  In that light, money doesn’t seem like such a hot commodity.  As I said, it scales well.

Now think about time.  Time is fixed – each person has 24 hours to live each day.  While some people have a lot of money and others have very little, not one person, I promise you, has more than 24 hours in a day.

Yet why do people always talk about money?  Why is money always the primary objective?  I think maybe we need to value our time a little more and our money less.
