Give Up Vacation Time at Work

Percentage of respondents: 20.5%

One in five people said they would give up their vacation time to get to $1 million. You could argue that regularly going on vacation is a healthier approach to achieving financial goals. After all, your time off is an important part of your job, allowing you to rest and recharge so that you’re at your best when you return to your colleagues. Still, giving up vacation time was one of the more popular options selected in the survey.
