Should I work overtime over the 4th of July or should I go to Miami?

Question

If I work over this holiday weekend, I will get paid time and a half an I could REALLY use the cash! However, I REALLY want to go to Miami w/ my friends. I mean, I already live in Florida, but I've been there only twice. Ok- so i only have a little over $300 bucks for this trip, but i got a lot of bills to pay. But do u think that I should just skip this month's bills and just go on vacation? Sure I'll be be broke when I return, but isn't it worth it? So what to do- go on vacation or work overtime?

Answer 1

It would be more fun to go on the trip, but more responsible to stay and work.  I would probably stay and work.

Answer 2

I'd go to Miami, there'll be plenty of opportunities to work overtime in the future

Answer 3

I would work overtime. I would care about the bills and being broke then hanging with friends and spending all my money on a trip with them. If you reallly need the money, work over the weekend and you will be sad thinking about how much fun your friends are having, but then you will be thinking, I can do that next year when I have money and won't go broke.

Best of Luck!

Have a great day

In the long run, getting your bills taken care of will be better for you and your credit score.

You have $300 now - you could have more to go towards your bills or you can dig yourself a deeper hole by going on vacation (you'll spend all of the $300 AND you won't make any more money cuz you won't be working - it's like a double-whammy)

Take care of the bills now and you'll feel much better later on.

Answer 5

Why dont you just work this july 4th and pay of your bills and save up for a better and bigger vacation around labor day! Talk to your friends and ask them if theyd be able to go with you on labor day. If no body can than u might want to go with them then but if they can join u in september i dont see the reason for skipping it this time.
