Re: What is more important luxury or family?
I was thinking the same thing. Without family (and friends), luxuries are meaningless. I certainly enjoy the luxuries I have in life but they would never take precedence over people.hsimone wrote:Family, of course. I would be surprised if someone would choose luxury over family.

However, far more realistically, I can definitely say I'd rather have time with my fiancee than luxury. I ended up quitting my best paying job ($600/week) because it required 50 hours a week and left me wiped out (it was a very physical job). I also ended up quitting a job where my fiancee and I both worked together and we were paid quite well because it was even more physically demanding, so much so that we'd work from 6am-4pm and we'd often go to sleep by 7 because we were so exhausted.

I agree n Family is most importantExcitedreads wrote:I'd pick family... i wish I could have them both, but i truly believe there's no worth in having a bunch of money to spend, and no one to spend any time with. It'd be a lonely existence. And the more money you have, fhe higher the likelihood that the people around you become fake... at least that's my opinion
