Same here, but looking back I wish I'd spent more time with my wife and kids. Thirteen years later, I can't get that back.

Time. Can’t buy any more of it.

One of the reasons I prefer the stock market over real estate. My ETF companies are never going to call me and tell me the A/C or toilet needs to be fixed.

When I was poor, money.

Now that I have money, time.

Time and it’s not close for me. I enjoy the shite out of doing stuff with my family.

Time, but money can provide you with more freedom to choose what you do with your time.

I'm 38 and at the point that I could step away from the business a bit, but I struggle with letting go

I recently gave up the Overtime, and back to my regular 3x 12 hour shifts. The extra money ain’t worth it, and my kids 7 & 11 love having me home more, and I love it.

It is especially nice to have an ample supply of both…

Time now but it wasn't always the case. I learned about 20 years ago that I was not ever going to be rich and, at 40, time was far more important. Sex and fishing are good analogies for life...you ain't got to be the best or have the best equipment to have a helluva time if you have the right mind set. Money versus time is a big part of that mindset. I sold a solidly profitable small business in the fall of 2006 because I had been working 12 or more hours a day 6-7 days a week for a little over 12 years. I have never looked back. I made a lot of money working like that but realized I was not going to get wealthy and decided time was far more important. I am 60 now and I haven't changed my mind a bit.
