Not Enough Money or Not Enough Time

Recommended Posts

I'd rather have the money and know i don't have the time to jump rather than sitting around on days with great weather knowing i could be jumping if i could afford it.

I know how that feels too tho.

I was in the same situation till i managed to secure a slot as a tandem camera dude at my DZ and get a slot as camera on a 4 way team earlier this year.

Since I started jumping for fun in 2000 I have always been in the more money than time situation. Even if I didn't have the money to jump all day I would pack to get the money to make a few jumps. Not having money to jump is normally a sign of laziness. ;)

I don't know! It seems that when I have the money, I don't have the time and when I have the time, I don't have the money! :S

having been on both sides, i'll take the time. even when i had no money, i could pack for a few jumps or do some videos. the thing that hooked me on skydiving the most was the people and you don't need money to enjoy them. there was a brief time when i had both the time and the money. that was by far the best.

The poll should have included "I don't know." I'm right there with you.

I suppose we have to take what we get unless we make some radical changes...

I've had some time to think about this (since I'm not making money).

I would take more time over more money.

That's the choice I made six years ago when I gave up my career to be a mom.

There will be time to make money later, but later my kids won't make time for me. I need to be here now.

However, if there is a "more money line" somewhere and a guy just handing it out. I'd be happy to use some of my time standing in line : )

I'd rather have the money... I could always take a vacation to go skydiving...



Nope, not an option... You don't have time to go on vacation.

At least that's my case. I'm supposed to be in Eloy at an Airspeed camp right now... but I don't have the time. [:/]

Time...the most valuable asset...time to spend with friends, loved ones...those that I cherish and hold dear. Oh, and time to sleep!!!! :D

Can I assume that this wasn't written at 8:00 p.m. on a school night? :D
