  1. no wayy, my family and friends mean the world too me :)

    i might say yess if my family were poor then it would help everybody, but myy family have enough money and i would prefer too spend my time with them :)

    x*x


  2. d**n right i would. Then after a year or two i'd resign after ive saved up enough money!

  3. No, I cherish family time too much for that.

  4. No chance, I don't need money that badly.

  5. 7 to 10? NO.Not if you expect to keep the wife you have now.

  6. No, haven't you ever heard Bryan Dyson's speech?

    Well, read this:

    Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - work, family, health, friends and spirit … and you’re keeping all of these in the air.

    You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - family, health, friends and spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or evenshattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for Balance in your life.

    I hope you make the right decision.  

  7. h**l Yeah, it would mean I could give them a better way of life as well

  8. £-what does that mean? no matter how much it is though, i wouldnt. well....i would. but i would quit after about a year.

  9. Personally i probably wouldnt. But, at the same time, they pay u for what u know and for how much responsibility that u have on a job. The more responsibility u have, the more money u make. Basicly, most jobs that pay like that do require alot of ur time.

  10. I wouldn't take it. My family, friends and personal life means a lot to me.

  11. no, i will rather be poor and have a sweet happy family and spend time w/ them, then be rich and not know what's going on in my family.

  12. No I enjoy having me time  

  13. yeah My friends are all k***s anyway lol

  14. No,

    I have grown up in a family where my dad works all day, everyday (except Sundays which till this very day are still "family days")

    Sure he made money, but he was hardly around.  


  15. nope

    whats the point in having money if you can't spend it?

    if however it meant by using the money i was able to give my family better quality of life, then yes i would.  

  16. No

  17. No, my boyfriend currently works for £60'000 a year and we see him 3months out of 12, as it's in Iraq. It sucks and hes leaving in April so we can be a proepr family, id rather we were on less money and had time together than had alot of money and were always apart

  18. life, If I am spending that much time away from them, I need to be happy with said  job  

  19. Thats 177,785 US Dollars. While it is a lot of money, I honestly don't think I would take it based on the hours. I have to work some Saturdays here, but, that's usually because I was lazy during the week and didn't get my jobs out on time. For the most part, I work between 45-60 hours M-F.

    My family is important to me as is my church. I do a lot in my church (Sunday School teacher, sign language intepreter, sign language teacher), so, anything that would limit my ability to do any of these things wouldn't be worth it, no matter how much money I made.  

  20. Yeah I would...to make sure my family could live a better life
