“Never underestimate the determination of a kid who is time-rich and cash-poor” is a saying that has been printed on many images. The saying comes from the novel Little Brother (2008) by Cory Doctorow.

Someone who is time-rich and cash-poor is hungry for success and has the time to devote to it. Often, success is achieved by teaming up with someone who is cash-rich and time-poor. “.@premal of @Kiva says we need to match up the ‘cash rich and time poor’ with the ‘time rich and cash poor’” was posted on Twitter by Social Innovation Summit on November 20, 2014.

“Time rich and cash poor, or cash rich and time poor. Both better than rich and bored or poor and exhausted” was posted on Twitter by Anna Sue on December 15, 2013. “Much rather be time rich and cash poor, than cash rich and time poor - life’s too short and you can’t take it with you” was posted on Twitter by Mungo on February 26, 2014.
