Once you are earning so much money ten another $10k here or there makes no difference. When you hit 30+ you start to see that you're mortal and time is more important than chasing the $$$. I value my time more than doing any overtime in any job. So I don't. No overtime for me. Sack me if you want. I don't care. Time off is incredibly important as you get older.
- argentinian 5y agoCertainly you can't buy time and it's a limited resource. I like the concept of 'time-millionaires', once I read about the idea in an article shared here on HN. The idea is that nowadays many people think about wealth in monetary units, but that it would be healthier to consider that wealth is more about the time you have available to do what's valuable for you. So somebody who makes a lot of money but hates his/her job is a 'time-pauper'. Of course, if you like to work 50 hs a week you would not be a time-pauper, because you enjoy it. I find the idea of individual net-worth as quite insane. It places value mainly on things instead of placing it in subjective well-being. In the USA it seems that there is more time-poverty than in Europe, where people have much longer vacations.
