Would you prefer to work every day in a job you don't like? just becasue you are getting paid well?
Or do something you love, earn less and live your life eating honey ?
It's very hard to answer these questions and even harder to make the decision. Everyone want to have enough money to retire and not work or to simply buy expensive things or travel, the problem not everyone get to do that in real life. Why?
Simply becasue we are different, imagine all the cells in you body are the same? huh I bet you don't want to look in the mirror now!
What we can all do is be happy with what we chose to do. huh! Seriously ?
No! becasue sometimes we need to do things that we dont like, I mean jobs that we hate! Are we?
No! If you are doing something that you hate, stop for a moment and ask your self, what would happen if you left the office and while driving the car you were involved in car accident and you died! Would you like to die knowing that you were not happy doing what you are doing right now?
Rich people have to deal with too much money, Poor have to deal with not enough money !
Both can eat honey, but only one can have the money ;)
So, personally, I chose the "honey" route. I work at a job I actually enjoy, have a good deal of autonomy/freedom, and get paid absolutely bugger all for it (currently), because my employer is basically a startup of sorts.
Quite a few of my friends in the same sector work jobs they hate, get paid way more, and seem to have far lower quality of life.
TL;DR: Quality of life > bank balance.
Honey wins! glad to hear that
