About "for the time being"
Is it equal to the phrase like "for the moment" or " for the present"?
Are they interchangeable each other? If they are in the most of cases, is there any exception?
In the following sentences, could it be taken the place of " for the moment " or "for the present" or other expressions?
1.You can stay with us for the time being.
2.We've decided to do without a car for the time being.
Thank you in advance!

It's interchangeable with "for the moment".
To be honest I hardly ever hear "for the present", and even then only for some official/news reports, not for day-to-day life.
