Earning more money and having less time OR having more time and less money

“Having more money and less free time is better than earning less money and having more free time”. I believe this saying varies from person to person. Because some people think you need more money to be happy while some think you should have more free time than money to be happy. There is a widespread belief that money can not buy happiness. So we can say people have different views about time and money.

I also believe money is important in life but also we can not ignore the fact that money is not everything for the life. You can not buy a satisfactory and happy life from money. I believe it is a priority which changes according to the age of a person. Young persons or especially the person whose age is between 25-50 are more eager to make money, they like more money instead of more free time while others who are above 50 like more free time instead of making more money. Because the person in their early ages is very enthusiastic about their work and money. They do everything to earn money because at that stage a person has lots of dreams, he wants to buy his own house, his own car etc. While the person after 50 is either satisfied what he has or he is frustrated or tired from working so he likes more free time.

But in today’s materialistic world people in everyone think money is more important in life. For some people having money is a great source of happiness while for some spending quality time with their near and dear ones is a great source of happiness. So in conclusion, money and time both have their own importance in life. You can not live a good life without money as you can not fulfill your admires without it but you can not live happily without your dear ones so for that you should have free time.

For eg. In many cases, we see rich people especially their children are not happy because their parents do not have time to spend with their children because they want more money in life. Those children feel ignored and depressed and sometimes due to that they get involved in bad or illegal activities. While in some cases we see poor or middle families are very happy and they are very close to each other because they have time for each other. They understand each other’s problems. So at the end, I will say it is a priority which changes from person to person.
