Clegg argues time is more valuable than money by asking what you'd accept to end your life or skip retirement. Most people won't take any price, proving we value time above cash, even though we sell it daily for paychecks.
I'll write you a check right now for 25,000, $50,000. Right now, who wants the chair, right? But there's one stipulation. You got to end your life today. Now who wants it? You got to end your life today. Now who wants it? Nobody wants it. So. So basically, what you're telling me is you already know that time is more valuable than money. You just never thought of it before. That hit you, didn't it? That's okay. You can laugh. That hit you. You already know time is more valuable money. Let me give you another scenario. Let's assume that you got this terminal disease and there's a cure. But the cure is $50,000. Your insurance won't cover it. And you got $60,000 or $50,000 in your 401k or your IRA. How many are getting that money out and buying that cure? See, you already value time more than money, right? But you don't live like it. See, when you believe that time is money, here's what you'll do. You'll sell a whole bunch of your time for a little bit of somebody else's money.
