Hello everyone here.
It's a pleasure to be a part of this week's writing challenge.
Today, I will be writing on the prompt that says - Unlimited free time or unlimited money'.
I can not begin if I don't say that immediately my eyes fell on that question, the first thing that came to my mind was a popular saying which goes "time is money'
In that moment, I told myself that, well, I would just go with unlimited time as my choice. But then, I did a little more thinking. I currently have some free time on my hands. In fact, I have had quite a lot of free time. I'm job searching at the moment and I have had no luck. Asides running some errands daily for my aunt with whom I live with, attending church services, searching for job openings and sending my applications, reading books, watching and rewatching some of my favourite shows, and trying to pick up new skill from the online space, I have some time. So, I thought, when at first the idea to go with unlimited free time came to me, what can I even do with the time? I asked myself what I had even been doing with the time that I have now, which has bettered my life? What will I even do with the free that will give me unlimited money.
Agreed, with free time, I can pursue a career, try out new things and work quadruple hard, and maybe make the money. And even if I make just a decent amount to earn me a comfortable living and extra time to spend with family and hang out with friends, it would mean something. There are good sides to this if you think about it, but I wouldn't pick it over unlimited money.
This is like money that never ceases. Like money that never finishes. I'd be damned if I didn't choose it. The prompt mentioned something about choosing free time and having to spend the days freely pursuing passion, rest, and relationship or securing financial power to build empires, travel, and support others. Now, because it didn't say anything about having money and not being able to rest well or spend time with family or not having money and being able to do those things, then i guess i can say that in this instance, i can have both. If i have the unlimited money, i can build the empire and get people to work and manage them for me while i oversee things, i can still support people and give back to society and yet, having enough implies that i have the finance and resource to spoil my family and friends silly and to go on those tours with them. It will even be much sweeter because I'd ensure that they build their empires so we sll be swimming in money and living life. How about that???
