Almost all of us have to work in order to afford to live but work can very easily take over our lives, which isn’t always a good thing.

If you have a demanding job you may have to work long hours which means there is little time left to spend with loved ones. Over time, this can become an issue and you may find that you need to rethink these in order to get the balance right. There is not necessarily a right or wrong but many of us would like to have more time at home but simply cannot afford to work less hours.

It may be that you feel you need to earn as much money as possible, so grab any extra overtime with both hands, but if you have no time to enjoy that extra money it can seem a little pointless. If you are saving up for something in particular then set yourself a goal and try and ensure that you still have some time off work in-between.

When looking at the balance between the two, try and see how well your job fits in with the other people in your house. If for example you have children at school and a partner that works during the day, then working normal day shifts are probably going to allow you the most time together.
