Time is not money
Even if these two share some connections, time isn't money. Time is energy, money is a thing. And they each have power over our lives.

Consider where you find yourself as each phase requires a different strategy.
- From nothing to something. This is where you live from paycheck to paycheck without any savings. Try to build a financial buffer of at least one month of expenses.
