Should I ski or work this weekend?

So to go skiing this weekend costs you $1200? I don’t think we can answer this question (in a meaningful way). No idea how much that amount of money means to you, how much you need it, how much you value skiing and your social life, how long you’ve been working every weekend and have not had a chance to socialize or ski, how close you are to burn out, how much you need this financial buffer so as not to have some big problem down the road. So much context I think I just don’t have to put the value on it for you.

FWIW, personally I’m a big fan of taking advantage of rare opportunities and experiences that create memories; and also a big fan of being connected to other people. These are the ingredients that sustain us and make life worth living.
