Have you ever wondered how much time and money we lose? When it comes to losing items, the average person loses or misplaces 9 items a day. You may be wondering how that is even possible? Nine items a day is too many to lose. And I agree with you!

First of all, let us talk numbers. In the long run, that’s almost 3,300 items per year and 60 hours of time to look for them. If we take the average life of a person, say 70 years old, those lost items became almost 200,000 and 3,680 hours of searching time.

The conclusion is that we are not only losing our beloved items, but also our TIME.

And time is not reversible.

Second, let us talk about money. The money we lose depends on the item we lose. It can range from the $1 shocker we have in your closet to the latest iPhone we just bought. Most people think, “Oh crap, I lost my phone, let us buy a new one”.

Sorry, but that’s not how it works. People are always willing to spend above average money on things they own or used to own. We work hard to get that money, and the last thing we want is to lose it. Should we explore this topic a little more?

Globalization. What does that word mean to you? Economic cycle. And what is that?

Everything we lose starts with ignorance and lack of information. Be smart, be informed, and live in the present. I know you can not put a sticker on your money because let us face it, no one is going to give it back to you.

What you can do is cancel your gym membership, which you will not be using either way. Go for a walk or jog outside instead. Stop overspending on restaurant meals. The average person spends almost $3,000 on takeout. Remember how I told you to be smart? Restaurants charge about 300% markup on the food they serve. So for that $ 3,000, you are spending another $2,000 extra compared to what it costs to cook those meals at home.

Tag your items. This is affordable, easy, and fast.
This is the golden area where TIME & MONEY hit the perfect target. Use the Find Owner Tag to mark your luggage when you travel and prevent the unique items you purchased on your trip from getting lost. Instead of buying a new laptop, which is expensive and time consuming, tag it and let it find its way home.

So in summary, get out of your comfort zone and take care of your own, do not let it determine your emotional status or your wallet! Embrace technology, get with the times and claim what is yours!
