Unemployment - A Finanacial and Spiritual Dilemma

When one is working, you're making money to pay the bills, buy food, etc... however you are so busy that you need to say no to some people in need to have a balance in your work / family life.

When you are unemployed, you are no longer making the money needed to pay living costs but you are available to help others and linger on conversations enabling relationship to go deeper and become more meaningful.

So is it better to make a$$loads of cash and be stressing about balance or to struggle by on mac n' cheese and be God's hands and feet in the world?
