How Valuable Is Your Time?
It seems like a simple enough question. Take your salary, do some quick math, and produce an exact dollar amount for even a single minute spent working. What about your time outside of work? Most us of can mow our yard, and yet, the lawn care industry was valued at $77 billion in 2016. It happens all too often, life gets busy, and you realize the cost of hiring a lawn care service is worth the free time it affords you.
As life gets busier, decisions concerning your time will most likely become more common. Your career is going well and the next thing you know, your promotions involve executive compensation packages. These could include stock options, restricted stock complex bonus packages, you understand the basics of investing and have always felt confident handling your financial planning and investments. It’s no longer a question of can you do it, but do you have the time and now, with limited time, are you fully understanding the multiple and complex opportunities at your disposal?
