    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!

    well the problem for me would be I’d have an extra week vacation time… but now money to spend.

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