Quick question about TTL and traceroutes.

So I’m guessing TTL is the time allocated for a packet to die when being transmitted in a network and apparently starts from 1 and keeps increasing. But I also read that, each node in the network decreases the TTL when the packet reaches the node, so how does this increase and decrease happen? Does it happen simultaneously ? Or is the TTL already established before the packets are sent?
