Finance is about money, time, and risk.
Practitioners combine money and time in tools that help to determine things like car loan payments, mortgage payments, and funds needed for retirement. Uncertainties in life – incomes, expenses, and rates of return – have a major impact on the ability to achieve financial objectives, and investors are rewarded for bearing risks through different required rates of return.
