This question came in my mind while I took part to a forum discussion regarding some business strategies. The idea was that some strategies involve more time, others involve less and the ROI might not always be archived. 
Supposing that there is no way to have both of them, choosing only one is quite a difficult job.? Like a friend of mine said, it is just like the dilemma: what came first the egg or the hen? Everybody loves money because they can buy you time; having a bigger budget you could use it to save time and use the time to “create” other tasks and make more money.
The reason why we can?t have both is because these two have an inverse relationship. One decreases when the other increases. Things that save time cost money, while earning money takes time. An interesting point of view is that you should focus on using money to free up your time rather than using your time to earn more money. Unfortunately, at this moment companies are affected by the financial crises and managers are working harder decreasing their free/personal time and some, even dedicating their all time to work.
With all this, there is always place for better. And even if we can?t have both what we can do to improve our time is to set a time management strategy. Time management is a totally different discussion, but if you need to learn more about methods of improving your time I recommend readings like:? MindTools.
What about you? What do you prefer: time or money?
