A dull boy...
If you had to make a decision of working all the time and making more money than you would have to pay in bills every month with no time off....
Or barley getting by with a job that just covers the bills so you would have time off...

Which would you do?

ohwell

The idea here is to choose one or the other...so as to help with a decision I am pondering?

The time off would be great but the stress of just getting by would drive me nuts.

It's up to you. Do you want to have a job where you make lots of money but are miserable? Or do you want a job where you make not so much and are a happy guy?

I make enough to do it. I enjoy spending time with my family. I help out with my grandkids. (Tomorrow I am taking my granddaughter in to the dr for her 2 mo. check up.) I don't need more than what I have.

I suppose that makes me low maintenance, doesn't it?

But not to have any money, while you have time off is miserable?

If I had to choose one, it would depend on my social situation. If I were in a place with friends/family or a romantic interest, then I would choose the time, Nobody has ever had this stamped on their headstone "I wish I had spent more time at work" (quote from some country song...) Time spent with those you love is irreplacable. Time is a healer, and a miracle all it's own.
Now if I were in a place like I am now, a 60 hour work week with a take home pay of $900 is not too bad... money cannot buy happiness, but it sure can rent it...

Renting would be good, but my job requires me to be away 24 hours a day,with most excelent pay!So rentin..is out of reach?

Misery is what you make of it.

Listen, I don't make a whole lot of money. I make enough to pay my bills, and have just a little left over.

If your bills are too much for what you make, you can always make lifestyle changes to get back into your salary range.

What you can't do, is get back time you missed while you were working your ass off and miserable.
