And someone will inevitably say "it's subjective" but that adds nothing of value.
Time is something that we all have but all want more of.
Money is vital to life and happiness.
I think it's between those two things but maybe other things are more valuable
It depends upon how you define valuable resource. Clearly, the most valuable resource overall is likely to be education. But education from a purely economic standpoint doesn't necessarily maximize utility or happiness. Rather, to maximize utility or happiness, a more valuable resource may be physical attractiveness or money. But then again, attractiveness and money both come at costs as well, as attractiveness tends to be inversely related to money, and money can be inversely related with attractiveness. And as such, greed and vanity, the root of money and good looks, are both things where you have to sacrifice a lot for potentially very little, as such both can possibly be worthless. As such, I think the most valuable resource is education.
