  • Interesting Radio Question

    I was listening to the radio while stuck in traffic and they had an interesting choice for the listeners and I'm curious to see if this group agrees with the majority of callers. You were given 3 options and you had to choose 1 to get.

    A. An extra 3 weeks of paid vacation per year permanently.
    B. Lose 30-40 pounds permanently
    C. $10,000 cash right now with no tax

    Personally I would have a hard choice between 3 extra weeks of vacation and losing the weight but am leaning more towards the vacation. So what are your choices?

    Well, after learning I've gained 30 pounds since I first went to the health center freshman year, and it's only junior year, I'd like to get rid of that 30 pounds and get back to a healthier weight.

        I'm caught between losing the weight and having tax free money.
        I'm bringing disdain back...with a vengeance.

        Oh, and your tool box called...you got out again.

          I picked the vacation.

          I am not overweight and while the money would be awesome, I get more freaked out over having not enough time to myself than I do when I am low on money.

          So I'll take the time.

            Let's see... 30-40 pounds would not cure my weight issue. I just lost my job (so I'm on permanent vacation until I can find one *mutters about stupid doctor messing up her medical leave and getting her fired*) and I'm struggling to meet my bills... so... 10,000 tax free please!

              It's the vacation for me. Money tends to go quickly and I'd rather have more time away from work.
              If you don't like my attitude, talk to the manager!!! Oh, wait, that would be me!!

              Yes, I'm the manager. I'm also known as "the brick wall".

                30-40 pounds forever. I like the amount of vacation I have now, plus weekends off and even though the $10K is really nice, I'm sure I could start working and make more than that if I was in shape.

                  Let me think...

                  I'll take one third of each, please.

                      I like my job, so I don't need the vacation, and I've got pretty much what I want now, so I'd probably just blow the $10k on frivolous stuff. So that leaves the weight. 40lbs would put me in spitting range of my "ideal" body weight.

                        I chose the weight too. I can make more money as I need it. The printer has some really good ink in it. I don't need more time at home right now, so the vacation isn't even sounding good at all.

                          At this point in time, I'd rather have the money (so I can pay down my debts and not worry too much while job-hunting).

                            The money was very tempting, then I remembered that my weight is one of the primary factors in both my allergies and my sleep apnea.

                            I'm at 250 and should be about 190. 40 lbs is two thirds of that.

                            Maybe without the extra weight I'd have enough energy to exercise more off.

                              I'd lose the weight. I already get 3 weeks vacation ^-^
                              The money would be nice, but there are other people who need it more than me.
