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?

@software_guy @richw what's the most expensive thing on your dream list?

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!

For sure more time. More time will eventually bring in more money.

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.

Time for sure. It is easy to convert time to money, but the opposite is quite complex.
Fabian Maume
@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.

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 :)
Daniel Engels
@mjain_mayank interestingly, after some basic level, the answer doesn't seem to depend too much on income - but rather on personal preferences.

I have to bring something to the family

Money will not embrace you in the evening, so I prefer time which I could spend with my family ;)

Time because it's a lot scarcer resource. Wasted time will never come back to you while money can be replaced.
Daniel Engels
@geri_mate nicely said. But many people I asked regret the time they spent on entertainment instead of work or study
Yassin Bouacherine
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!
Baishali Chhabra
For me Time is more valuable and investing that time in learning new skills which can ultimately give you money.
Aaron O'Leary
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

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.
Software Guy (Aarvy)
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?
Time.
Gaurav Goyal
I need more money so that I can create 2x more time :)
Shreyanshi Gupta
More time, because time is money!
