Most people think true wealth is having lots of money so you can buy material things. But the wisest people understand that true wealth isn't much about buying more things as it is about having more time to do what YOU want to do.
Think about it. When you are old and gray, sitting on the front porch of a nursing home, contemplating how you lived your life, what are you most likely to regret - not buying a more expensive home?...Or not spending more time with your kids when they were young?
What are you most likely to regret - not working around the clock for that promotion at the office?...or not spending more time with your parents and your friends when they needed you?
Time is our most precious commodity - far more precious than gold - because once it's gone, you can never get it back! If you wreck your car, you can always buy another car. If you lose your job, you can always get another job. If you lose money in a bad investment, you can always make more money. But you can never, never get back the time you 've lost or misspent, can you? Once it is gone, it is gone for ever.
