Most people know how much money they make. Very few know how much time their money can buy.

In this episode, Bala explores the importance of knowing your 90-day, 6-month, and 12-month numbers, why understanding your true cost of living creates financial clarity, and how building runway can help you navigate career changes, uncertainty, and life's unexpected transitions.

Because sometimes money isn't just about dollars. Sometimes it's about buying yourself enough time for the next opportunity to appear.
