Which would you rather have.......??

[LPJR]

While training for and on my ride 2 weeks ago, I had lots of time to think...Here is something for discussion for all on W&W......  Simple question. Would you rather have more time, or would you rather have more money?

Interpret as you wish and include with your answer the reasons why.

I know for me personally,  I would rather have more time. Time to be around for my family and children as one can never get these years back......All the money in the world cannot replace memories for me......

I recently thought about this myself. I have started working less overtime and spent more time hunting, fishing and time with the family. I realized the more money I had the more I spent it on unessesary items and accumulated more debt. I am more conservative with my spending now and enjoying my time with my family and the outdoors.

More money means more stuff.  More stuff means more things to worry about and more things to fix when they break.  

On the other hand, you can't get more time, so appreciate each day that God gives you.  Enjoy today and stop worrying about tomorrow.

At this point in my life I would definitely take more time.

I was incorrect in my first post, you can get more time.   

1 John 2:17

The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.

More money would always be great but can't take it with you when your gone and we are all going (hopefully a lot later than sooner). 

To me I said I would never work 2 jobs to live. I don't need a big house and the most expensive toys. I make do with what I have and enjoy life. 

 Enjoy life with friends and family while you can. Time flus and Life is too short. Enjoy it

I've been at my full time job now for 13 years and been working part time on top of my full time job for 7 years now. Money's been good and has helped me buy my first home and my second bigger home with being able to keep my first house as a rental so I can't complain there . Now that my son is getting older and is at a fun age it's getting hard for me to be away from home so many hours and days so I'm starting to appreciate my time alittle more and been debating my future with my part time job not to mention I'm starting to get burnt out. I'm up at 4 a.m and getting home around 7-8 p.m so I really only get an hour with my kids everyday if I get home by 7 otherwise I have gone up to 3-4 days without seeing them.  soooo guess I could say that time is alot more important to me at this stage of my life right now. I was told years ago that as long as there is no kids bust your ass and get your shit together,then once they are born you have till the age of 5 to finalize your finances and once they hit 5 start injoying your time with you kids and try to not stress over money....that kind of stuck with me and it's the direction I've been pointing my self in, so far so good I'll probably be quiting my second job as soon as end of this summer and as late as next summer so up to one more year then I'll just take some ot here and there at work for spending money but I'll be home everyday at 3 and have have the afternoon with my kids... Can't wait. Time over money at this point!

I would rather have more time. More time to spend with my son, hunt, fish and just enjoy life. Although having the extra money is nice, it doesn't always last. Creating memories with the extra time will last a life time.

Time is more valuable then money 100%  

[Stewey]

Definitely time. I lost my dad when he was 48 and I was 20. My best friend and hunting buddy. Lost my mom unexpectedly 2yrs ago. There isn't a day goes by that I wish I had one more day with them.  Imo time is priceless 

[LittleM]

Time.

Charlie Alsheimer of Deer and Deer Hunting said it best,

"At the end of our lives what matters most is not the amount of money that we have made, but the relationships that we have.  And most important of those is our relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ, because that lasts for eternity".

if i had more money i would have more time, be able to work less and have time well spent vrs having all the time in the world and being a broke bum on the couch.  trade off :-/

[ThatsABingo]

more time for sure. money buys you stuff but whats the point if you can't use it. I got all I need already and spending time outdoors is so much more valuable to me than that new boat or new truck.

Time!
