Money=Time : Hard Money Bankers
Money equals time is a very cliche saying in business that is thrown around a lot. Most people say it with a smirk on their face or not really know what it means. Time does in fact equal money so lets look at why. It works for two reasons. The more money you have the more time you can potentially grant yourself to do as you choose. It allows you to leverage more resources and increase time usage at the same rate of leverage that the resource of money is be invested. For example, if I have a $1,000,000 to use on my business, and I use that money efficiently, I can provide myself with $1,000,000 in time for either myself or for others. The other similar function of money equaling time is that money buys you the freedom to use your time. If there isn't a sufficient amount of money to obtain the life style you want, you are trapped into using your time to make the money to get you there. Once you have enough money you have enough time to use in whatever you way you want.
