The Time Value of Life: Why Time is More Valuable than Money

Time is more valuable than money. So why do we treat our money with such care and our time with such indifference? In The Time Value of Life author Tisa L. Silver combines finance lessons and real-life experiences to illustrate the importance of time management.

A student-turned-professor of finance, Silver shows the many parallels between finance and life, and money and time. This self-help guide describes the Time Value of Money model using the four components of present value, return, time, and future value to drive decisions on how to best utilize your time on earth. The Time Value of Life advocates that you:

• Recognize that time is a limited resource
• Reinvest
• Diversify your investments
• Keep your word
• Be respectful of time
• Believe in your investments
• Make collaborative investments
• Understand that good investments pay off
• Realize the past does not dictate the future
• Know that future value depends on your input

By being more careful about the way you invest your time now, you can enjoy the rewards later. Stop spending time and start investing it.
