Note
An example: If a person receives EUR 100 today and invests it immediately, it will start to generate income immediately. If that person waits ten years before investing the EUR 100, he/she will lose ten years of income.
Thus, when talking about costs and benefits, two dimensions should always be specified: the amount of money as well as the point in time when a given money inflow or outflow occurs.
