Time is an incredibly valuable and non-renewable resource. A great example would be the time many spend commuting to and from work. Let’s say you spend two hours for a roundtrip commute for work.
2 hours x 5 days a week = 10 hours
10 hours of weekly commute x 50 work weeks per year = 500 hours
500 hours per year x 40 working years = 20,000 hours
20,000 hours / 40 hour work week = 500 work weeks
500 work weeks = approximately 10 YEARS of work weeks spent in your car
Time is a form of wealth, and figuring out a way to save time allows for more play, side hustles, and life satisfaction. Be willing to question whether the 10 years of work weeks spent in the car commuting, car depreciation, fuel, and what you net on a higher salary after you pay tax on the salary, is worth the time spent. My commute is three minutes, allowing me investing and side hustle time. Moreover, I was able to attend every event my children participated in. This is just one example – be willing to question.
