Time is Money|Know Your Time Value
Do you know how much is your time worth? Do you know that you can turn time value into potential profits? Wisdom people always said “Time is Money” to teach young generation the importance of time value.
In 2002, a British university professor has proved that time actually is money by calculating a mathematical formula. The formula is : V =(W((100-t)/100))/C, where V is the value of an hour, W is a person’s hourly wage, t is the tax rate and C is the local cost of living. That also means that while you are brushing your teeth for 3 minutes, you spend around 45 cents (hidden cost of lost time)
Therefore, you can imagine how valuable your time in performing any task. It measures whether you are making a correct decision in spending time or money. By this way, you can save your time and money (time = money) when you are about to perform a task. Sometimes, you can hire people or pay for the service to save your time to do more important task because time is money.
Time is Money also can be applied in investing. Just imagine if you invest in mutual fund for example, you will get more profits if you can wait for at least 3 years because of increasing of fund units(units split) and interim interest effects.
