Would You Rather..... (part.1)

Ask a Question

💰 Would you rather: Have loads of money and no free time or have loads of free time but very little money?

It's a tough one! I do love my free time as I'm someone who has a lots of hobbies so I'd really miss that. But I guess I wouldn't have the money for the hobbies anyway? lol

I guess if you had loads of money the lack of free time might not be related to work.

So if you are busy, but busy doing things you like, I'd go for the money/no free time option every time.

Money as I've got a family to feed same as most people free time will happen when it happens as least I wouldn't have to worry about keeping a roof over my kids heads and they have food in real life I'm lucky that I have my family for help if I need it

Free time and little money. My partner and I did/have survived since end of 2019 when my Contract ended and he stopped work as the stress was making him ill. We divided what cash (my divorce his Insurance policy) between number of months 'till retirement and that was it. No Benefits as they required us to work. We'd much rather be poor and happy than rich and dead.

lilyflower I mostly agree with free time/little money and definitely better poor, healthy and happy, than rich and dead. But I think it depends on how poor you are, and how you live etc. Nowadays I feel rich and busy seems better so you don't have to worry about money, cost of living and future survival.

Plus, if you'd technically already earned loads to the point of being rich, with no free time, I think we can pretty much quit becoming rich and free.

I have too much free time since retiring so I would go for the money. At least I wouldn’t worry about travel insurance costs.

Aaaaah this is hard ..who doesn't want some more Dosh 😍🤣 but if there is not much free time, it may make one miserable. I suppose with little money you can be a bit savvy lol

Nadiaparveen I've come to the conclusion, make money first, then quit and be rich & free. The option didn't have slowly become rich with no free time - only rich and no free time 😏

I would rather have money. You need money to survive out there. You can’t do a lot without it. They say money can’t buy you happiness, but it can. Having no money and scraping through makes you unhappy. You can’t take money with you, but you can live a better life with no worries. You can always make time but you can’t always make good money. Especially in this day and age. That’s what I think anyways.

I am working part time but only on pocket money. I used to do full time but have had so many bad experiences at work affecting my health. My husband works and I can only do this because of him. I was out of work for years with not much money. We have nearly paid up our mortgage so won’t need to worry too much about that. So yes I have free time and I really value it. I spend time with my older members of family and make most of it as I don’t have my own. I would hate to go back full time miserable and not have much quality time. The money wouldn’t mean anything. Yes I struggle a bit but then I am sensible and make the most of what I have. I don’t need the latest fashions, gadgets etc. If it functions I’m happy.

Free time.Cos there are so many things you can do on the cheap and money never assures happiness or health.No good working yourself to an early grave.Can't take anything with you at the end anyway.Spend time with family,friends and loved ones.Invest in people and not things..always.

Free time I am reading as not working so time off and the ability to go on holiday during your free time etc. Whilst I like money I would rather have some free time than working all the time and not being able to utilize it. Preferably I would like a good combination of the two

I guess it depends where I lived. If i was in a country with good weather I’d rather have the free time cause can occupy myself outdoors. In the UK i’d take the money cause as we all know, this country is pretty expensive
