Great post, I have this dilemma all the time. Sacrificing money, working for a smaller company to pursue my passion. I took the money once before and I dreaded going to work every day. You could always make some money for a while but in the end happiness is what we all strive for. If you can find your passion with high pay, well that's the golden ticket. Smaller companies cannot pay as much but are far more enjoyable in the creative fields.
I agree, staying inside sends you mad. I ran a business from home and still do part-time. Working from home can become very boring with no other co-workers. The postman will become your new best friend :)
hahaha the postman. It's good to see you've found your balance! Would you say you're way happier now?
Yes, I can spend more time enjoying my life. There are some moments I question it, when a colleague offers almost double your current pay packet;). Nevertheless, I am happier with the flexibility I have with my current employer. I can still pay off my unit, though I cannot spend excessive amounts. Surfing is practically free which is great.
Most of the time when we get more money than required we just buy more shit we don't need haha
Very true, like a lambo with bitconnect haha
