Which one do you want to have more of?

Time

Money. You can "buy" time and money gives you freedom. For example, I pay someone to do the cleaning, the ironing and things like put on a wash. This means time I am not working I can spend the time doing things I enjoy. Money gives you choices and freedom from worry.

I chose time when I quit my well paid ft job! Yes I was buying some time saving things as pp suggests and I do miss those and having no money worries at times but I've never once regretted the decision and have a happier family for it x

I could do with more time some days/weeks but I also use money to "buy" time to an extent so overall I can't complain and I suppose there are plenty of people short on both.

Money, I could then buy someone else's time.

Money. The tiny house that I live in and high nursery fees are making me desperately unhappy. I really want to move, but we don't have the money to do so. I don't want more time to be stuck here.

I want time but I've chosen money. I took a higher paid job because I know I can't keep working forever and being the breadwinner is scary. But it feels like a gamble, because the extra stress is not good for my health. I would dearly love more time to myself.

For me money buys time

The more money I can earn, the more time I can have off.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 10/08/2019 17:36

Money - brings so many more opportunities to spend the time you have doing enriching things.

Cindersincyberworld · 10/08/2019 19:24

money is everything
But it vanishes in a flash

Time can be magicial for a fleeting hppiness

Money - because then I wouldn't need to work as much, and would have more time.

Jupiters · 10/08/2019 19:33

Money, so I could make the most of my time. At the moment I have a reasonable amount free time, but more money would make life so much easier.

BiteyShark · 10/08/2019 19:37

Oooo hard one.

Money can buy you time.

But time can enable you to do things cheaply and therefore get you more money.

Can I have both? Grin

lazylinguist · 10/08/2019 19:41

Money. I have time.

PorkHollywood · 10/08/2019 19:44

Time.

ssd · 10/08/2019 19:51

Time. With people I love. It's priceless. I'll never get time with my mum and dad again. All the money in the world would ever compensate that.

Cindersincyberworld · 10/08/2019 20:55

I miss my dad too

A time machine would be the best thing

Pause
Forward check for mistakes

And back to enjoy what went too fast
