Would you rather be super busy and have more money for your family or just get by and have a lot of time with your family?

Asked by SensitiveChris (172points) May 4th, 2017

Right now I have a job that just pays the bills and I have a great time playing ball with my son and going for walks and going swimming and being home to make supper and do laundry and get him in bed on time and life is pretty good, but I don’t have a retirement plan or pension or a lot of money saved in case I need a new vehicle etc.
My boss just offered me more work and it would be the income I need to start banking some money for our future, but it would be hard to manage the work load and I know it would put a strain on my parenting and I’d always be trying to arrange someone to watch my son and we just wouldn’t have a schedule that would allow us to spend as much time together.
I want more money, but I hate sacrificing time with my son to get it.
Would you rather be super busy and have a lot of money for your family or just get by and have a lot of quality time with your kids?
