Library analysis method used for this research through the data from literacy from book and previous article journal. According to the research's findings, the traditional understanding of money as having a time value (the "time value of money") holds that money today is worth more than money tomorrow and that the advantages of acquiring money now will outweigh those of acquiring benefits later. That's why this concept is not the best way out if applied in the economic process.
