Time Is Money

Automatically converts prices online into hours of work.
What is Time Is Money?
Time Is Money is a unique Chrome extension designed to help users visualize the true cost of purchases in terms of working hours. As we browse online, the extension automatically converts the prices we see into hours of work, based on user-inputted wage. Whether it's a BluRay player, Broadway tickets, or an exotic adventure, we start to understand that we pay not with money, but with our time - the ultimate non-renewable resource. The extension works with all currency codes and symbols, and handles formatting such as spaces or dots for thousands, and commas for decimals. Seen on Yahoo News, Lifehacker, Huffington Post and more, Time Is Money encourages mindful spending, helping users save both time and money.
