In February 2020, I drove from Las Vegas to Huntington Beach CA to attend a bachelor party. Most people go the opposite direction for that purpose. Call me unconventional.
The Best Man was the organizer and he’s a bit on the wild side so I prepared mentally for risque circumstances.
The adage that time is money makes a lot of sense on the surface but actually it doesn’t hold much water. Here’s why. Money is infinite, time is not. Once consumed, time is forever gone. It can not be reproduced. In contrast, money once consumed, can be reproduced. Ask the Feds. They print trillions of dollars at the drop of a hat. Similarly once you spend, you can still go work and make money to replace what was spent.
Spending money can also be delayed and while it is not spent, it will still be there when you decide to spend it. Time doesn’t care if you don’t use it. It will be gone whether you use it or not.

Make no mistake though! If you feel challenged or even frustration because you never seem to have enough time, you can still “create” time for yourself.
