📜 Time vs. Money
You’re offered a side gig or a promotion that pays significantly more than your current job, enough to ease financial stress or save for something big.
The catch is it demands an extra 15-20 hours a week, cutting into time with family, friends, or hobbies that keep you grounded.
You could take the money and build a more secure future, or stick with what you have and preserve your free time and relationships.
Question: Do you take the extra work for the financial gain, or prioritize your time and personal life? How do you balance what you need now versus what you want long-term?

Skip it. Time with family is priceless, especially if you’re already getting by financially.

Negotiate fewer hours for decent pay. You get some cash without losing all your personal time.
