Work to live or enjoy work?
A lot of people say they want to work to live, which makes sense. Work but have the time for the stuff you actually want to do.
But some more in depth scenarios for two groups of people on CP:
Those that enjoy their career: would you like to work your ideal job 40 hours a week with decent pay OR sacrifice maybe 25%-50% of that enjoyment for a job you work 35 hours a week with significantly more pay?
Those that don't enjoy their career (not necessarily dislike it, but don't necessarily love it/like it a lot): work 40 hours a week, enjoy life now OR work 50+ hours a week making a fair bit more hourly on average (say the 10+ hours were all time and a half) for a few years before settling into 40 hours a week and retiring a few years earlier.
This kind of assumes you are getting by decently well, as for some people it isn't a choice and they have to go with the higher paying job / more hours.
Thoughts?
