Well money is only so important once the bills are paid and some is set aside for a rainy day...why do you need more? I never understood the whole keeping up with the neighbors thing, I couldn't care less what the jackass next door is driving or what he watches the big game on every week. As long as I'm happy and content with what I have why would it matter what others have?
If I had 5 days off a week...well I kind of set my own schedule so...but if I could take 5 days off a week I'd probably still work a little for the fun of it, because I really enjoy what I do but I'd definitely have a lot more time to actually cultivate some sort of life. I'd love enough spare time to really get a relationship going or just fuck off and go fishing, well you get the idea. If I only worked 2 days a week I'd probably more productive as I wouldn't feel so burned out all the time (which has surprisingly disastrous effects on your relationships) and working would feel more like a treat then something I do to pay the bills...but then again.
I've spent time without having any work and, well money issues aside, it kind of sucks. Weekends don't feel so special when they are 7 days long and trying to find things to do to kill the time gets really boring after awhile, you can only go so many places and do so many things before everything just starts feeling really...stale. What makes fucking off and going fishing special is that I can't do it every single day of the week and the rare times I do get to do it I try very hard to appreciate it.
I don't know, I guess the secret is just striking a balance. Working enough to stay ahead and be comfortable but finding enough spare time to not only do but cherish the things you enjoy doing.
The Jersey shore folks can go piss up a rope, that's just not reality.
