specifically business decisions sometimes? is that because money and time are perceived by them differently?

Yes, but not just because they perceive money and time differently. When a bipolar sufferer gets into a hypomanic, or worse still, a manic epsiode, their perception of reality goes distinctly haywire. Grandiose plans get started, new projects absorb money they don't have, they become invincible, untouchable.
I should know, I've been there often enough and burned my way through six figures easily.

When properly treated, most bipolar people are very thorough and contemplative when making decisions of any kind. Their thinking is at least as clear as other people. I know because I am bipolar. Before I was in treatment I couldn't decide which way to stroke a paint brush, up & down or left & right. At least someone would come along wanting to know why I was doing it one way and not the other, everytime. I knew I wasn't making good decisions but the brain I was working with was the only one I had so I had to keep using it and making bad decisions. That is until I began effective treatment. Now it's almost as if I can do no wrong.
Sincerely,
Terry

Early bipolar disorders can be very functional in business and school life but as depression stresses increase they can't compete anymore. Home life has always been a failure for them. When the mind won't relax bad decisions are made. Remember when one is unable to decide anything at all that is the beginning of a psychosis. Any bipolar can degenerate in to psychosis. The bipolar has to be careful from now on for being an lifelong outcast as to the people they live with makes each step difficult. But being a winner-player has it problems too. They often have trouble with the work ethic. None the less a bipolar will have to find other bipolar people to find happiness in life.

People with bipolar disorder have the tendency to make poor decisions when they are in either their depressive or manic phase. If the person is stable on their medications (not all can achieve this), then they make as good or as poor judgments as anyone of their IQ, education, experience, or ability to be logical would make.

If they are taking the proper medications, they are no different at making bad decisions than anybody else.

i believe everyone makes bad decisions, however with bi-polar everything is perceived differently, priorities change very rapidly.

Yes, especially if you are in a manic state.
