In our past #CommunityChatter installments we've shared about making big financial decisions, organizing your time, and work from home hacks. This week we're having a little fun and playing a little game of "Would You Rather"! What if you could have everything you ever dreamed of, with a caveat, you had to work full time for 50 years! Not a bad compromise, eh? Now what if you could have half of what you dreamed of but only had to work for 30 years? This also sounds great! Either way you slice it, these are both pretty good deals. Imagine buying a home on the beach and a second in the mountains. Then you go out and buy a Ferrari and even a private plane. You have the ability to purchase all the items that could possibly make you happy, but do they? Now think of the other scenario. You are able to afford a nice home, a nice car, and most of the things you want. Would you long for more or be content? Our community team will also discuss this topic and what they believe would be the best move for them. ++++++++++++++++++ Katie Harris, Community Manager “Well, living in California, I just might have to work full-time for 50 years, and definitely won't have everything I want at the end of it! Ha! Since this is a hypothetical question, I'd definitely opt for the 30 years vs. 50. I LOVE traveling and spending time with my family, so the more I am able to do those things, the better!" ~Katie, Community Manager ++++++ Raphael Matthews, Community Engagement Manager “Although I do love the idea of only have to work full-time for 30 years but there will always be that gnawing feeling in the back my head telling me "You only got half of the things you wanted in life." 50 years does seem like a long time but as long as I was doing something I enjoyed and it felt fulfilling I think I would be OK with doing with the notion I would get everything I ever wanted in life.” ~Raph, Community Engagement Manager ++++++ Ericka Ramirez, Community Engagement Lead “This is a very interesting topic! I love the idea of being able to have everything I want but at the same time, I'm nervous about how much time would be left over to enjoy those things. If I'm working full time for 50 years I won't have the time to enjoy my family, all the goods I would want, or even travel. I would definitely pick to only work 30 years while still being able to purchase half of the items I'd want. I'm assuming I'd still be able to have ALL the items I need 😉 ” ~Ericka, Community Engagement Lead ++++++ Which would you prefer? Would you rather have a full-time job for 50 years but be able to purchase everything you’ve ever wanted or would you rather have a full time job for 30 years but only be able to purchase half of what you wanted? Now it's your turn... which would you rather have? Join in on the fun by commenting below!

Thanks for letting us know, I will contact the team investigating this issue.

ErickaY · ‎February 10, 2021

@SteamTrain Thanks for sharing that info... I have since found other customers experiencing similar issues and added them to an investigation. For now (until we have an FAQ dated 2020) I would continue to follow the FAQ you shared. I was advised doing a manual update is the workaround while they continue to research. Thanks for pointing this out 🙂
