About this Quote

This quote by Neil Simon is describing the concept that sudden money, or cash that is acquired rapidly and unexpectedly, is not as important as money that is earned in time. The quote suggests that cash that is earned gradually, such as 2 hundred dollars a week, is more valuable than money that is obtained suddenly. This is since money that is earned with time is most likely to be utilized responsibly and conserved for future use. The quote suggests that money that is obtained all of a sudden, such as winning the lottery game, is not as important due to the fact that it is often invested quickly and not conserved for future use. This quote is a reminder to be conscious of how cash is earned and invested, and to focus on cash that is made with time.
