A short spoken reflection asking whether time or money matters more and arguing that the more scarce resource tends to dominate priorities: younger people with more time but less money focus on earning and skill-building, while older people (regardless of wealth) prioritize how to spend time—family, giving back, and making positive change. The piece highlights shifting values across the lifespan and the trade-off between accumulating money and allocating time.

What's more important, time or money? What's. Whichever one you have less of. Right? When you're young and you're broke and you've got all the time in the world, it's okay to be focused on money and making more money and enhancing your skill set so you can make more money. We talk to any old person in the world, whether they've got money or they don't. And they're not thinking about their income. They're not thinking about how to get rich or how to get richer. They're thinking about what to do with their time. I'll spend more time with their grandkids and their kids and giving back to society and hopefully making positive change in the world before they die.
