If you could have lots and lots of money, but had to spend most of your time earning it, would that be best? Or what if you made enough money to get along, but you didn't have to work that much, so you had a lot of time on your hands, would that be better?
Personally I'm into time. Since my non paying work takes up all my time, and I wish I had a lot more.

Money allows people to become full of themselves. It corrupts values and morale, and is a tool used against the common welfare of humanity and the basic goodness and benevolence of mankind is diminished by it's presence. It can cause the main concern of an individual to be the acquisition of tangible valuables and the accumulation of quantities of objects, as opposed to the improvement of that which is implied and desire to elevate oneself and the quality of one's lifestyle.
Time on the other hand is completely oblivious to all the attributes and qualities we assign to it. It is entirely oblivious to objects it is neither good nor bad, it is just the label we have created for a force that we cannot grapple with, comprehend or deny. It is neutral to our assessment, and is only able to effect our views on things and people because we hold it in high regard. But given the two options I'd say time was far better than money, because only evil can result from the constant insatiable desire to acquire material goods.

Money buys you time which buys you freedom. If you're already doing what makes you happy but can't afford it, then you need to earn some money to buy the time to do what you love. The work you don't love will seem easy if the goal of the job is to get money to pursue your passion. Better yet, find a way to make your passion pay & then play your way through every day.

Time. You can always get more money, but you only have so much time. Once you're out of time, you can't earn any more.

i suppose it depends on what i'm working on.
if i enjoy what i'm doing, time & money are almost futile.
if it's what i don't enjoy, but must do to make a living, i guess i'd work part time, & get less money.

It depends on what you have more need of.
