Would you rather have more time or more money?
A simple question for the PH community.
This year, would you prefer to have 2x more time (for family and personal projects) or rather have 2x more money?

I think, I'd like to have more time., and meanwhile I'll invest that time with my family and earn more money along the way.
What's more important to you, Daniel?

This is a tough one because money creates more enjoyable time with more money I would be able to spend less time on things I might not enjoy but also it takes time to make money
This is a difficult question to answer because it depends on the individual. For some, more money would be ideal because they could use it to buy things that they want or need. On the other hand, others might prefer more time because they could spend more time with family and friends or pursue their passions in life. Ultimately, what matters most is what makes you happy!
For me, it's time. But, it's also because I have got basic covered and can say time and not money :)
@mjain_mayank interestingly, after some basic level, the answer doesn't seem to depend too much on income - but rather on personal preferences.
In the world, time is one of the significant thing. You can earn money later, but you cannot extend your lifetime however you want. For that reason, we should invest our mental & physical health.
More time without question - however in the startup world, money often equates to time and vice versa
@geri_mate nicely said. But many people I asked regret the time they spent on entertainment instead of work or study
Being a Hyperrealist, I would say more money, you can't have more time, we all have 24h a day. Having money allows you to buy back your time, delegate tasks to experts and organize your time.
Fortunately this year I was able to manage my time well, therefore I would have wanted more money, even so I totally agree that it is preferable to have more time that can be converted into money.
I was lucky to be able to travel and share with my family. ❤️
For me, that would be money, able to delegate most of my work = and more free time to chill! ;D
I always went with the formula "money=time+energy spent".
Cheers!

TIME IS MONEY! FAMILY, WEEKENDS, LADIES NIGHT OUT, TIME, TIME, TIME.
For me Time is more valuable and investing that time in learning new skills which can ultimately give you money.
This is a difficult question to answer because it depends on your individual goals and priorities. If you are looking for long-term financial stability, then money may be the better choice. However, if you're mainly concerned with having more time in your day, then spending less time would be a preferable option. Ultimately, it's important to think about what is most important to you and make sure that your investments align with those values.
Depending on life situation, both are very lucrative options.
Right now, I will take more time because not only does it present me with an opportunity to earn 2x (and more) but also gives me more time for self.
But, 5 to 10 years back, I would have taken the money.
By the way, who's offering?
Time for sure. It is easy to convert time to money, but the opposite is quite complex.
@daniel_engels yes but the conversion rate is not that great. There is also a hard limit in how much time you can save: you cannot save more time than the time you are currently spending on tasks.
I've always chosen occupations that allowed me more time freedom, lower pay than other options, and greater time management. I saw CEOs, physicians, attorneys, and workaholics and I didn't want to be a part of it. I worked as a university professor in my first job. It provided me with a decent middle-class pay and lots of free time to pursue other interests. That developed into a second job where I could work as much or as little as I wanted, writing books and giving speeches. Fortunately, I was able to achieve financial independence before to turning 50. No remorse. Although not perfect, my life has been really, really fantastic.
@cbrandoff_official I started a university career too but got bored rather fast. Great that you've been able to live as you intended!
Money will not embrace you in the evening, so I prefer time which I could spend with my family ;)
I always chose professions that gave me more freedom in time and good pay, so better time. I saw principals, military officers, doctors, lawyers, and workaholics, and I didn't want to be a part of that. In my first job, I was a regular programmer. It gave me a decent middle-class salary and lots of free time for other interests. This evolved into a second job where I could work as much as I wanted, write books, and read or watch casino reviews that had interested me since I was a kid. Fortunately, I managed to achieve fair go australia good financial independence before I turned 50. No remorse. Although my life wasn't perfect, it was really fantastic.
