Is money the most precious thing?

[Primark]

$20000

Your friend has been given an offer. He will be given $20000 in his account every day, only for that day. After 12 midnight on that day, this money will have no more utility. He will not be able to spend this money anymore. But he can spend the money as he wants throughout the day. The funny thing is that he will not be able to deposit this money for the next day, and he will not be able to give the money to anyone else. You are very surprised to notice that your friend keeps the money. The money comes into the account, it becomes invalid the next day, and again the money is deposited in the account, it becomes invalid again the next day. That money is not used for any purpose.

You will definitely think, how can someone do such a stupid thing?
But interestingly, if you look at it, money is also a resource, time is also a resource.  You and I are also given 86,400 seconds every day, seconds that we cannot give to anyone else. You can only spend them yourself. You can't even carry them over to the next day, right? We are also wasting that time. However, if we had distributed this time and resources properly, and tried to do it in a way that would yield proper output in the long-term, then in the end we would have seen that we were getting a compounding effect. And an effective successful life is being achieved.

What a brilliant one! But it should be best fitted in the Economic section of the forum, and not this place.

The truth is that this exposes the reality of life, as people value worthlessness than value, and daily, we waste time, energy and our God's given capacity. This is also applicable to those who believe they have money. What you are doing with the money matters.

However, money is good, but when time is undermined by inactivities, it's a disaster, even if you currently have money.

[Boston 2.0]

Your point is quite good. The comparison between money and time is very apt. Just as we receive some money every day, but it cannot be taken away the next day, similarly, we are given 86,400 seconds every day, which we cannot give to anyone else. The real question is: Are we using them properly? Many, like the friend in the story, waste time, not understanding its value. But when we start managing each of our seconds properly, just as we manage money, we really start seeing progress. The results of small, consistent efforts in life can turn into long-term success, just as it does in finance. Time is truly our most valuable asset, and once lost, it can never be regained.

Life is not money, time is also not money, your time is not like having someone giving you $20k daily, your life is not always about profits or making money.
If you spent the time in love with those around you, that’s not a waste of time, if you are having a relax time during what you have that day then that’s not a waste of time.
Be resourceful but you have have a recess, fun and time to yourself.

Time is a valuable asset as compared to money,  because it takes time to get wealth or get riches and its lack of proper use of this time that leads to poverty and a poor mindset.
Everything we do compounds into a future result we soon reap and that's the fact about this.

When there is good health, it is a good resource to help spend time in the proper manner, because the man who is sick doesn't think of his money or wealth, but how to recover and get well. Where money can't solve health problems, it becomes vanity upon vanity.
Spend your time wisely and achieve great wealth or don't, and have a different opposite result.

[Dareo]

Time and money are both valuable but the difference is that if you lose money, you can earn it again but once time is gone, you can't get it back. So it's not enough to just say wasting time, what we actually spend our time on is more important, In my opinion, it's not important to be productive all the time it's also important to give some time to rest, family or yourself. Because these also indirectly balance our lives, So instead of just thinking about spending time it's important to be aware of where and why we are spending it.

No, money is not and cannot be the most precious thing on earth. But, money is the most important tools for high quality life, providing comfort, security and opportunities. The most precious things here on earth is breath, health, relationship, love, freedom and time. This are the most expensive things that money cannot buy.

You made brilliant remark, money obviously has its role to play as it's essentially to have so as to stay comfortable as human being, but money isn't the most important thing in life, Bob Marley was once quoted that his own measure of riches is long life forever, that material possession doesn't make him Rich, so if you look at life in that context, you would see how important it is to have good health even without having money.

[programmer3666]

This message is clear enough, but honestly!! money is not the most precious thing, in my view, time is. Money can be lost and earned again, but time once gone is gone forever. Just like in your example, it does not make sense to have something valuable and not use it. Every day we are given time and if we waste it, we are basically doing the same thing as your friend. letting something valuable go without using it. So, money is important, but how you use your time is what really determines how successful and meaningful your life will be.

What you said is highly recommended and accepted. Money is important in other to fulfil our daily life activities. But time is most expensive thing in life which money cannot purchase or buy. We must respect our time, and spend it wisely, because it ticks every second and wait for no one. No more wasting time, we should work very hard in order to be able to achieve something fruitful, beneficial and productive within a short period of time, nowadays there is no time to even check time because everything has become short time. You just have to believe in your ability and capability and never give up no matter the circumstances. Zero fear is actually what is going to take you far and leads you to your destination. Money is not the most important thing in life.

[passwordnow]

I guess that I've heard that kind of tricky situational question before. But it's true, time is also a valuable thing and what most of us do is we trade our time in exchange of money. That is what employment is. And those who won't spend their time wisely, they're wasting it each time that passes by. The rich are buying time because they have money while us the commoners are selling time in exchange of money so we work. But as soon as we have learned the game like the rich do, we'll start to use that money wisely and put it on valuable investments like Bitcoin and so it will work on its own.

Each person may have the same amount of time, but people also found ways to multiply their time.  With the use of money, they leverage their time by hiring people to work for them.  So even if originally we all hae the same time, people who have money can have extra time by buying the time of other people through the guise of employment.

As for the question on the title, I do not think that money is the most precious thing, but it should be included as one of the most precious things.

Your thought on the important of time is a very good one and can never be compared to any other thing including money. Know doubt money is a very good asset that most not be played with but can still be gotten back after losing it but that of times waits for know body .
Both money and time are very precious in life but non among them can be written off because without them life is useless and can never be meaningful to anyone,  I think i will say money is also important even if cannot be compared to time. Money we see now I the general overseer of all as life without money is meaningless but still can't be compared to time

It's a very broken and weird analogy that you're trying to portray. People who know even the basics about money would be able to live quite happily from 20k a day and should be generous enough to give away any remains at the end of the day in various different forms, like buying gold bars to distribute for the benefit of others. Everyone learns that life is precious and time is limited, whether early on in life or due to some kind of tragic event. Even knowing this, some people still choose to be lazy or unproductive with their time on a regular basis. You can only encourage good behaviors but it takes inner strength from each person to make the most of their life. Learn to set the best example for others around you and show them through actions instead of words.

[Makus]

This actually makes a lot of sense because people place so much value on money forgetting that time is also an important resource that cannot be gotten back when it's wasted, the more you waste time you end up not accomplishing a lot of things that you planned to. Time is truly valuable because come to think of it you can lose money and at the end of the day recover what you have lost but time that is lost cannot be regained, this is something that a lot of people fail to remember because if they do they wouldn't spend hours of their time doing unproductive things.

We should earn money to make our life better and easier, but we should not be so much into it that we spend our life with pleasure and do not work for our money for some time. That is why people always talk about it and it does not give our body a good rest. If we become rich, we will have to face many problems because if we do not spend money on ourselves, people will say that we are accumulating money and if we spend it on ourselves, people will say that we are wasting money by becoming rich. That is why we should earn money normally so that we do not lose such things and good time in our life. That is why people think that if we do not earn money before time, our future life will be uneventful, due to which they need more time in it. We have to manage time in our life so that we can earn money and also have peace for ourselves.

[Oasisman]

Well, not a bad comparison, but I think time is far more valuable than money, if being utilized properly.
Money over time will gradually loses value, while our time becomes more precious and valuable as we age, just like a fine aged wine.
However, with this scenario and comparison, you can easily buy the money with assets that will generate compounding interests. Unless, the rules on that scenario prohibits purchasing some sort of investments.

[Pi-network314159]

Well I actually understand your point, every thing in life works by timing. No matter the money we have or food we have or whatever that we have to consume or utilize, if there is no time utilize the properly then it is a waste. Like if you are given a bag of rice to eat for 24 hours and you are expected not to give anyone or selling it to another person, just eat as you can and the rest is a waste, it will interest you that it will not be useful because time is needed to utilize it properly. Time is very precious in whatever we do, that's why when some men get involved into money ritual or making money through dack magic and they don't have much time to spend those money, they often leave a miserable lifestyle. They are often not happy for the rest of their life knowing that they have limited time to spend those money. Of course that money will not be spent wisely because it is a waste that why you see many people lavish money in clubs and bar without any investment knowing that they have limited time to spend it.

[yhiaali3]

I remember watching a film several years ago that discussed almost the same idea, where people worked for time not money. Each person had a timer with a specific number of hours, and when you wanted to pay for a taxi, for example, time was deducted from your account and added to the taxi driver's. So, you had to work constantly to earn more time, otherwise your timer would run out and you would die. 

I expect this is a profound philosophical idea similar to the one you are trying to put forward here in this topic. Yes, time is the most precious thing in our lives, and if we do not make good use of it, it will be like someone who spent his money in vain without any benefit.

Sometimes people are limited in the resources they have which makes them slow to think about how to utilize these resources effectively. When humans realize one thing about the resources they have, what happens is the desire to encourage the individual's ability to move better. We have categories in interpreting time, whether for rest, work or other needs, but we also need to manage the right time according to the portion needed because successful people usually maximize their time as best as possible.

The effect can be much more effective and measurable when someone can make plans in their life so that they know when to work, rest or just relax with their family to fulfill their responsibilities. Many people work hard using energy but they still have financial difficulties so we can conclude that hard work does not guarantee that someone can achieve a better life.
