Why Spending Money Is Like Trading Time!

Is Time More Valuable Than Money? The Philosophy of Investing Your Life Wisely
Hosted by Jean Cast, this episode goes deep into one of the most overlooked truths in personal finance: every dollar you spend is a piece of your life traded. You’ve probably heard the phrase "time is money," but have you ever stopped to truly unpack what that means?

When you earn money, you’re trading time, energy, and skill—pieces of your life—for currency. And when you spend that money, you’re deciding whether that trade was worth it. In this episode, we explore the philosophy of investing, how to make smart spending decisions, and why understanding the value of time is essential for achieving financial freedom.
