Dear Mama Weaver,
Why is everyone's time given the same value, one time credit equals one Hour?
Signed, Curious


Dear Curious,
At first glance, it seems crazy that someone is paid the same for web design and pulling weeds, but this turns out to be the core of what makes Time Dollars really work. In the “Yin” or “caring economy” everyone’s time is valued equally – just like it is inside a family. You wouldn't ask your cousin to give you two hours of dog walking for every hour you spend fixing his computer.


As for services that are in demand, such as legal advice or healthcare, professionals can offer members a set number of hours per month or year based on whatever they can handle.
