Let's say we could sell time; would you be interested in selling it?

Yes.

Don't we already sell our time to our employers? I wish I made $100,000 a year for my time.

Think about it, with time you age, you will and everyone does die one day. In the time you have you live your life, time passes it cannot be stopped so make the most out of every moment! Hence, 'seize the day'. By selling time you are selling time in wich you are able to do things, expierence things, shape your personality, this is what life is. By selling your time you are selling your life. And in the end what is money? Money is just a medium that sweetens our time, makes it easier it helps us 'have a good time'. Now I know that is no definite answer and it may make no sense at all. But you need time(!) to think about questions like these. Here is an interesting quote I found: Our life is made up of time. Our days are measured in hours, our pay measured by those hours, our knowledge is measured by years. [...] And yet time eventually runs out and you wonder in your heart of hearts if those seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years and decades were being spent the best way they possibly could.”
So by selling your life you are selling the limited time you have on this earth. Never sell your life!

Yes but only if I really needed 100k at some point.

And yes I would do it. My only source of money is Bing Rewards and all what I make on there is $5 per month.

Sell your time for money? IS that not called work?

I would sell a couple of years...

I don't really care if I die before 40.Just let me play a Pokemon MMORPG and any MGS game with upgraded Oculus Rift and I'll die happy ...

You might want to watch this movie then!

I would only sell my time if I was in an extremely desperate situation. Just like your health, my time would be worth more to me than any amount of money.

If selling time meant taking time off of my life and adding it to the buyers life, then absolutely not. Life is much more valuable than money. Thats a major problem with the whole world. People put greed for money over life (governments do it daily and animals being tortured because its cheaper for the supplier are just two examples). People would be much better off in life if they understood how little they truly need to be happy.

Yes, I'll sell my time I spend at school.
This way, screw having a job.

die a year early and get 100K?
heck yeah, I'll probably be gone before I reach my natural death

Sure, I'd sell the last 5 years of my life for half a million bucks. Maybe even the last 10 years. I'd be able to enjoy the time I have left a hell of a lot more without having to spend the majority of my life working to make some faceless corporation richer while I barely make ends meet. A million bucks well invested and a part time job should let me live comfortably until I die.

I'd sell time whenever I'm doing something boring, like watching a documentary or eating or sleeping.

Then I'd use my money to buy more time when I need it, like if I was inside of a speeding train with a bomb on it and I needed to get out somehow.

Perfect.

I would make money, get plastic surgery when I'm old and buy more time for myself XD until i reach 100 years old

People have been linking to Andrew Niccol's (sorely disappointing, given his pedigree) "In Time" as an example of a film that deals with this subject yet I find this sadly cynical and poignant three and a half minute cartoon by the wickedly talented David Firth (of Salad Fingers fame) much more interesting than anything ever mentioned in the aforementioned movie.

Here's a relevant cartoon about this by David Firth, the man who made Salad Fingers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idCFV0KF4uo

Yeah, I would. Why would it matter if I died at 87 rather than 88, or 59 rather than 60 or whatever age I live to. This past year has been probably the worst of my life so far, I've been unable to work for various reasons which has really limited my ability to go out and just enjoy myself. Money has always been of minimal importance to me and usually I would never agree to sell my time for it, but 100k in my pocket right now would completely change my life and de-stress me in more ways than I can count. To me, there is no better feeling than not having a single thing to worry about, and sadly money is the source of too many of my worries.

No. In fact, I will use my money to buy back time!

Everyone, think about what you could have done if you had more time, or if you could go back in time to do something else.

If time = money, is an ATM a time machine?

If I knew how much time I had then of course, Lets be honest who wants to be stuck in a old folks home, I would want to die as soon as I couldn't live, IF i happened to reach that time I would sell it and give the money I earn from it to my family ,leaving a week left to say my goodbyes and die on my own terms when I wanted to while saying my goodbyes and letting my family know I died peacefully and that they shouldn't grief over my death. :P
