Money or Time?

    When you start a new project, what do you usually tend to do:

    Put more time then money into it and take longer to finish
    Put more money then time into it and take shorter to finish

    I am personally not a patient person, I want things to be done quickly, so I like to use money to speed up the process.

    I'd put more time into it if it will produce better quality than putting more money into it.

    I'll put all my time into it first, and if I think it'll be profitable, then I'll invest.

    Most of the time on start ups I will start with labor, and once it starts to cash flow then spend more money than time.

    Depends on how much time i have. I always thought that time = money anyway. Therefore Project + time = Project + money :D

    I used to invest money for most of the outsourcing but after being disappointed numerous times I now put more time into things that I can do on my own and save money on sloppy jobs.
