Time and Money

Today, I read something very interesting about time and money. It is definitely worth while to post it here to share with my dear friends for you to think about the questions in your life:

Time and Money?

Generally, there are 4 categories of people in the world:

(1) No time, and no money.
Most employees or rat racers fall into this category. You are trading your time with money and can’t go vacation whenever you like before somebody approval or fire your boss whenever you like. Most employees can’t even save enough money in their pension to last 3 years! What a sad and terrified news to hear...

(2) No time, lots of money.
Self-employed, professionals and small business owners are in this category.
They are slightly better off than the rat racers because they earn more, but they
have to work even harder than employees to keep up with the diminishing profit margins, competition and servicing their customers.

(3) Got time, no money.
A lot of farmers, villagers, college dropouts or bums have lots of time but no
money. Maybe ignorance is bliss, but without a stable source of income, how
long can you last many days forward?

(4) Got time, and lots of money.
It is the category that big business owners, landlords, investors are in. Imagine,
not having to work for money, but having money to work for you by investing
them and earning profits by using your money to make money.

Questions for you:

1. Which one of the four categories are you currently in?

2. Which one category do you desire to be in tomorrow?


Have you ever thought of working on yourself to be in the 4th category - Got time and lots of money? I am sure that's your dream too.

Probably, it is time for you to start investing in yourself to learn how to let money working hard for you instead of the other way round...
