If you devoted next year to making as much money as possible, how would you do it? How would it impact your relationships, your health, and the quality of your life overall?

It would take away from my family, my health and my relationships. So, I'm not interested. There are more important things in life than money and jobs/careers.

I have reached a point in life where I would rather downsize and spend my time with friends and family. As long as I have enough to live on and a bit for savings, I'm happy.

it would certainly help my family out and I wouldn't stress so much. I don't need a lot of things in life, but it would be nice to be able to help out my family more.

BTW....cash in the bank???? pfft....surely you jest. That is a myth

If I had to do something to make money it would probably be a commision sales job because you learn your product and treat your customers with respect you can usually pull some pretty good money. Certainly beats the hell out of wage slavery where no matter how hard you beat your brains out someone will probably take credit for your effort.

Working long hours in sales would do prbably tear my health down pretty fast. You eat terrible, high stress, really good days and really bad days mess with your sleep and blood pressure. As fr quality of life it would probly go up after what I am doing now; hospice caregiver for a parent is something you do but rarely enjoy.

Great answer

I have found that less is more...

Agreed. Stuff is just stuff...
Nice to be comfortable financially, but at what cost?
