Time is Money How do we get this adage of “time is money?” Some say that it came about in 1748 when Benjamin Franklin actually coined the term, “Time is money” when giving  advice to a young tradesman (Pausch). Why did this concept of time being worth money come in to our culture. Time evolved into being worth money because it cost money toallocate time to activities other than work. Either you work and get paid or you partake in another activity and forgot your distribution of capital. Think of the common phrase
“let’s spend some time together.” Why do we use the term “spend” when we talk about time.
