| | | | What do you cherish more: time or money?

I'm trying to make some big life changing decisions. Perhaps take a big pay cut in order to be able to be home every night and weekend with my wife and kids and never miss a soccer game, class play, or graduation.
So I guess I stand on the side of time, even in this tough economic down turn. How do you guys feel?

Being over $100,000 in debt due to student loans, every penny is valuable to me.

| | | Thanks for you input, guys. I must say I'm very blessed to make a good income, but it's coming at the expense of my family and my sanity. But I'm realizing more and more that money can buy you more bass guitars, but it can't buy back lost moments in time.
I think I may have found a way to really end my GAS.

|  | Registered User | | | | | This is soooo easy.
I was a paramedic for about 10 years. NOT ONCE did a sick, frightened person look up from the stretcher at me and say, "If only I had worked harder".
When I had cancer and was contemplationg my own death, one of the greatest comforts I had was knowing that I had lived my life on my own terms doing what I wanted, when I wanted for the most part and not wasted my life chasing money and "stuff" that has ZERO real meaning.
Go meet you family again.
Good Luck. |

Definitely cherish my time more than money. To help pay for my wedding I've taken on a couple of 'independent contractor' projects in addition to my normal job, and they're really stressing me (with Christmas coming up) out despite paying a better rate than my normal work. I've always SAID I value time more than money, and after these projects are over I'm not taking on any new ones.
Worst part is that my bass playing has taken a hit lately, and that's what I really love to do when I have some "just me" time. |

and quality time for friends and the new girl I have my eye on.  |

You can't put a price on watching your kids grow up and spending time with them and your wife.
