Good example.

I also think of buying time like this:

Let's say you're working as a flight instructor, making $15k/year. You could get a job making $25k/year if you had more multi time. The difference in pay is $10k/year.

You could keep working as a CFI and bum multi time off people through networking. Maybe that'll mean spending one year longer as a CFI.

Or, you could drop $10k into renting a twin and moving on to the $25k/year job ASAP.

Either way, it's costing you the same amount of money, but by buying time, you're moving up in your career a year earlier.
