rember you are suppose to work to live not live to work, give the time off a live a simpler live But how does one live, if he can not really afford it? Then you have a very different definition of " living " than I do.

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? it all depends if u have a family or not. if u are single then work and more money would be good,but if u have a family then I would take the cutt just so I could spend more time with my family

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? 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? That thing on my butt in the pic isnt a growth... I know what it means to be away... I have served in the military, I have been an o.t.r. trucker, it sucks to be 'away' but when you can have time to yourself it depends on the situation. If there is someone to spend it with, or even sometimes alone reflecting on your thoughts is wonderful. However if there is nobody to spend the time with, might as well make the money... (and that first comment is meant to be a joke, but believe me, i know solitude...)

Another thought here to ponder is if you find a job that makes you happy all on it's own, you never really 'work'... so if you have the right job, maybe other things will fall into place. Human beings were not meant to live in solitude, that is why most of those moments send us over the falls when it is not our choice to be alone...
