A Weeks Extra Pay or a Week Vacation?

June 27, 2007 by Dan in AV,News with 9 Comments

CNBC’s recently ran a quarterly “Wealth in America” survey that took a look at if Americans would either accept a weeks extra pay or a weeks extra vacation as a bonus. Surprisingly the results are about 50/50 with men more likely to take the money with women opting for the time.

What would you choose for your bonus, the time or the cash?

Would definitly take the extra vacation. My kids are fast approaching the adolesent shutout so any extra time with them is worth more than the extra weeks pay.

Cash please. My ole lady just puts me to work around the house whenever I have vacation. And she doesn’t pay me.

That’s a tough one, don’t seem to have enough of either…

My time is valuable to me though, so I’d go vacation. Could spend w/ wife or just doing fun projects at home. Money would be nice, but I always seem to do ok with what I have.

Money, definitely. I’d be busy either way, and I really need the cash, as I’ll be servicing some massive educational debt.

As an IT manager, I haven’t got a snowball’s chance in hell of taking off the 2 weeks they give me as is. Either give me the cash–or someone else to work for me!

I’m def. stuck between a rock and a hard place on this one.
