Biggest learning of life: Time is Money

YOLO : You only live once and the life is very short and you never even know when the end is coming, so if you forget to enjoy life now you may find that it’s too late before you know it. Money is for preventing negative feelings, but free time is for generating positive feelings. Time is with a caveat that you must make the minimum amount of money for food and shelter. Life is short and money doesn’t buy happiness, but not being able to pay bills for basic necessities is a surefire path to anxiety and depression.
Time, however, is the very reason to live at all. Our lives are a short burning fuse and each day we get closer to death. Therefore, I think it’s important to cram as much fun and joy into that time period as possible. The quality of a life, with the time is the ratio of happy to unhappy moments and the vast, and these vast majority of my happy time has been during free time. Now your gut reaction may be “But, if you only live to seize the day and avoid excess work then you aren’t being responsible and contributing to society! This 'you only live once' attitude will get you in serious trouble!”
And I’m not even telling you to be irresponsible. Every action you take affects the future in some way, and using your free time irresponsibly will make your future worse. Therefore irresponsible use of free time still goes against my mantra of maximizing happiness. You may have a ton of fun getting wasted and having casual sex today, but that could punish you tenfold the amount of pleasure you got in future times. My attitude is not about giving into temptation. And yes, using your free time to help others and contribute to society can make you happier.
But always plan ahead of time. Use your time to make your future better. Make sure you earn a living and are able to remove stressful situations like worrying about how you’re going to pay rent. Just don’t overdo it! Some people spend their entire lives preparing for the future and forget to have joy on a daily basis. By the time they’ve built up their nest egg and gone into retirement, they’ve lost much of their energy, mental faculties, and years of potential fun. It is then a waiting game for the diagnosis that will end their lives. That’s if they made it that far in life and didn’t die a premature death.
We all need time to do whatever we like to do but people always gives more important to money because they think money can bring happiness, so they start the life journey towards money without realising they are wasting the time, at a certain point with the money they regret that they doesn't have enough time. People realise the value of money instantly but they realise the value of time only after losing it.
Many people still doesn't realise the money can be earned even if it is lost but time can't be. I am not saying you are not supposed to wait but you must learn to spend time carefully more than you spend your money we have enough time for everything in a whole 24 hours we have time for our family, our friends, our relatives, our pets, our hobbies, our health, our studies ,our works and above all for our own self but the thing is we spent most of our time for unnecessary stuff like social medias of course I am not against social media but too much time for it, it's not a good thing but watching some junk videos in YouTube unwanted chit chat etc., But we are not giving important for the time spending with children,parents something more realistic in the balance time we are running after money thinking it will replace everything and anything. Time is golden. It's depend on how we use it.
Needless to say, the overwhelming majority ask for more time. Time to spend with their kids and grandkids, time to travel to countries they were never able to visit, time to learn a new hobby, and so forth. Even with all the money in the world, one could never come close to experiencing all this world has to offer people to meet, restaurants to dine at, and places to see. While money may open up additional possibilities, never underestimate the amount you can achieve with little to no money.
