Sure, you would have plenty of cash to spend on movies, on a girlfriend or boyfriend, a husband, wife or children, on a house, on cars, and so forth. Yet you would have very few hours a week to relax. In addition, you probably wouldn't have much time to keep physically active, and wouldn't have much time to sleep. On the other hand, you would be financially secure, and you could provide for your friends and family, hardly something to laugh at. This is why life in the working world is considered a balancing act.
Teachers are a terrific example.
This affords them more opportunities to spend time with their friends and families, but on the other hand, they are paid far less than your average doctor, stock-broker, etc. After enough time on the job, teachers can make a comfortable living, but don't expect to see a Ferrari driving up a teacher's driveway anytime soon. Again, money versus leisure, work time versus quality time, career versus social life, the balancing act never ends. Some need more money and are happier working long hours in a successful career. Others couldn't imagine spending 80 hours in an office, no matter what the pay.
