    Work to live. Hinders my lifestyle in the way that i do not get to spend enough time with my family.

    I work to live. I wish I enjoyed my work so much that it didn't seem like work, but it does.

    It hinders my lifestyle because there isn't time to do the things I enjoy, but it enhances my lifestyle because it provides income for a home, food, car, etc.

    well it helps, cause i wouldnt HAVE a lifestyle without money, but other than that, it totally hinders. im a night person, but have to get up early in the morning for work. and all i want to do is chill, have a good time. not be stuck in a cubicle farm in a stuffy office

    I don't really do either, given the fact that i am in high school so i really don't NEED to work yet. however, i work at a little grocery store in a small town and I LOVE it!!! it's alot of fun getting to know the people because im not from around there and i have learned alot about what it takes to run a business. it's really interesting and it's made me see that i want to major in business and eventually own my own business of some sort someday! but basically i love going to work and i also love the extra money!

    Work to live.

    Work to live - Need money to live (buy food and shelter and what not). I guess it helps my lifestyle because otherwise I couldn't afford my lifestyle and I would probably be pretty bored if I wasn't working...

    I work to live. If I have enough money or resources, then I won't work and just enjoy life. However, even if I work, I make sure I have personal time. I travel overseas every year for pleasure.

    I work to live - I only do it for the money to live on and pay the bills. It gets in the way of the rest of my life which I enjoy. Roll on retirement.

    it depends if you like your job and enjoy working around people. i still would say work to live so i can retire early and enjoy life the way i want and have time to do things and not worry about having to get up early the next day.

    I work to pay the bills. Being at my desk definitely gets in the way of fun I could be having.
