Can We Talk 2

Which Would You Want?

         I once was in a group where the leader asked everyone an icebreaker question. If you could have one or the other, but only one, would you want more time or more money? We got a lot of really interesting questions. It obviously made a big impression on me, because years later, I still debate it with myself.

         A. If I had more money, I would have more time. I wouldn't have to go to a job every day that I don't particularly like, so I'd have more time. I might not stress so much and enjoy the time as well.

         B. If I had more money, I could pay someone to do my laundry, cook dinner, clean the house, and so forth, so I'd have more time.

         C. If I had more hours in the day, I could get more work done, so I could save money or work more hours or even get a second job and earn more money. Money is not a goal in and of itself, but what it enables you to do.

         D. I could have more years (they didn't specify what kind of time), I would need more money. But who wouldn't want to live a longer life as long as he wasn't in pain? I guess you'd need good health for that kind of more time.

         I think I really want the time. But the money would make the time so much easier. I couldn't choose. Well, maybe. I've been poor. I know what it's like not to have money. I got through that. But I haven't been dead yet. I want the time.
