Having money and less free time is better than earning less money and having more free time. Discuss both views and state your opinion.

#money #time
Money
 and
time
 are the most valuable things for everyone in the world.
This
 is why there are many discussions about benefits between each other. Some think that it is better to have more
money
 than
time
 and others believe in the opposite way. In my opinion, having more leisure
time
 is much
appropriate
Suggestion
more appropriate
 for me. From the one side,
money
 is a great power that could provide a fantastic ability to open every door. A lot of things could be bought by
money
.
This
 is something that makes people crazy about having millions of dollars in their wallets.
As a result
, people truly believe that having
money
 is much better than having free
time
. From the other side,
time
 is one of the things anyone could not buy. Everyone has 24 hours per day. The thing is how much spare
time
 remains after all activities like housework, job, sports activities and so on. It became a big issue for people who are really busy in their daily-basis life and they start to value the
time
 they have to spend.
This
 is a reason why some people prefer to have more
time
 than
money
. I was asking the same question a few times to myself and I realize that I prefer to have much more
time
 than bucks. Spending
time
 with my family is the most important thing I can imagine for me at the moment. I can live with zilch in my
pocket but

pocket, but
 I can not live without my family. In conclusion, everyone has to decide what they value more,
money
 or
time
. There is no right answer. It depends by individual and by directions the individual is interested in. I hope that everyone will find the right answer for themselves.
