What makes you happy?

Ever read the book, "Your time or Your Money"?

It is a book by Vicki Robbins. Most of the Financial Independent bloggers have mentioned about that book. 

I read it several years ago. It came to mind just today again. This book makes us think about our purchases based on the time we have to work to get that material possession. 

If you hate your work, and spent long hours at work to have your stuff, then think about it. Time is fixed. Every one get 24 hours a day and 365 days an year. What you want to do with this time? If you are working 80 hour weeks, you have to reduce your time to do other things in life. It can be spending time with your love ones. It can be no time for exercise. It can be less time for the fun and interesting things to do with life.

So, is that 80 hours of working really worth it? 

What you want to do with life? Like to have freedom to do more fun things and less material stuff  or doing more at work to accumulate more stuff in life?

This book made me think of how many hours to slave for work to buy a not so needed expensive dress.

I highly recommend reading this book. It will tell you how you "money is something you choose to  trade your life energy for" 

What is important to you?

What makes you happy?

Is it worth spending your time to work more hours to have more stuff? 

Do you like to work or do you like to spend your time doing something else?
