Do I have too much time on my hands? How do I answer a question like this?
I am supposing that someone who asks this question is making a judgment call about the way I use my time.
How do I quantify and qualify which hours of my day are time well spent? I am assuming that time well spent is never "too much time."
Must I be paid for my time, or does it count if I simply do something that is useful? Is a volunteer's time as well spent as an employee's? Must my time involve service, or are there other worthy ways of using it?
Is the creative person's time as well spent as the professional's, or the person doing manual labor?
Time is cumulative. Every second leads to the next. I cannot be who I am today without all the time that came before today, so I think the answer to this question is, no. I do not have too much time on my hands. I barely have enough to do the things I believe are important.
How about you?

I'm sorry if someone is using your money in ways you don't like. Perhaps you should separate yourself from this person. There is a poem called Love prayers that says, "Have no part of that which does not please you." It is good advice. Life is too short to go around being miserable.
