You can't spend it when you're dead
The saying "time is money", to me, means "I care so much about money that every second you waste of my time means another penny lost". We live in a time where money is never tucked too far back in our brains, especially college kids with bills, rent, tuition, or groceries; when is our life not somehow revolving around money? I can personally say that if I were to constantly spend every moment away from school working, I would surely look back on my college years with regret. After all, these are the years we're supposed to be broke, right? I like to spend my extra time living; Of course I work also, but not as much as I could. I'd rather head to the nearest park with a good book, or pack up my stuff for the weekend and roam around in the woods. To me "Time is living", if we're lucky enough to be alive, we should spend that time doing things we love, things that won't have us laying in our death beds with regret. Money is just money, sure it will get you a few things while you're alive, but you can't buy adventure, or love, and you certainly can't buy life.

I really like the way you put this. I feel the same way. I try to spend my time doing what I love and worrying about money as little as possible. Before I left for school, my work offered to give me almost twice as many hours as I had been working for my last two weeks there. Even though it would have been nice to have the extra cash for when I moved, I much rather would have spent my last two weeks at home with my friends and family. So that's what I did and I'm really glad.
