Philosophical Conundrum

I work long hours. This means I get good money. I need money. So I signed up for some even longer hours. I was smug that I had found a way to get more money.

Then someone reminded me I've been given a pay rise. More money anyway. And long hours.

Do I win or lose?

    You lose. I did a nine-hour shift on a Saturday starting at 6am a few weeks ago, and even though I made over £100 on the deal, I still felt like I lost on the transaction.

    Lose. Longer hours means you don't have time to spend that extra money.

    Win. Work hard for a while, quit later and blow the cash big style.
