About this Quote

This quote by George Gissing talks to the value of time and money. The proverb "time is cash" suggests that time is a valuable product, and can be exchanged for money. Nevertheless, Gissing suggests that when we turn this saying around, we get a more profound reality: money is time. Cash is a representation of the time we have spent working, and the time we have actually invested in our lives. Cash is a method to determine the worth of our time, and the effort we have taken into our lives. Gissing's quote advises us that time is a valuable resource, which money is a representation of the time we have invested. We must bear in mind how we utilize our time, and recognize the value of the time we have spent.
