2. Your Time is Money
So many times I hear people complain that they don't like to spend money on hiring professionals (mechanics, carpenters, Lawn Dawg), with the thought that they can do the job themselves for free. My years as a consultant has taught me that my time is worth something. If I actually went as far as to try to work on my car by myself, I don't think of that as doing it for free -- again, my time is worth something, and that "money" is better spent somewhere else.
The same can be said for hotel reservations. I'd rather spend the extra $$ and stay in a hotel that's closer to the action. I know people who would rather stay in a hotel that's miles from the city they're visiting in the first place, just to save money. If my hotel is so far away that I have to spend time getting to and from the place I'm want to see, that's wasting money, because (all together) my time is money.
So take my advice and the next time you're planning a Walt Disney World vacation, stay here and save some money. You can thank me later, when you have time.
