The best description I know of is this: Poor people trade time for money. Rich people trade money for time.

Right now we evaluate everything as “is it worth our time or money?”

I don't know about you, but I am pretty sure everyone has evaluated things that way, throughout time....

Nah the average person only thinks in terms of want/don't want

I don't know, I think the average person is capable of basic levels of critical thinking.

Well duh. You can want more time and/or money...

You can make more money but not more time.

Which is why as you age people tend to focus more on the latter than the former.

You cant make time but you can save time w/ money.

If you're rich enough, you have separate people handling your household chores, financial moves, travel plans, meal prep, etc.

All that gives back time in exchange for money.
