I took a bit of a paycut in my current job, im down to 25k plus 10% min bonus, BUT, its so cushty its unreal, and that is what makes it worthwhile for me. As a service engineer i made good money, but the 60-70hrs + per week fucked me off, my standard of living was high, but quality of life was shit.
So for a little sacrifice in standard of living, my quality of life has improved 10 fold.
So i suppose what im curious of is, do those that earn 50k a year get to enjoy it?
