Yes, absolutely. I spent 10 years making great money at a job I hated, and it destroyed my mental health. Money isn't everything.

No way. With everything happening here, financial security is not something I can afford to give up.

It depends on the cut. If I can still pay my bills and save a bit, then happiness at work matters. But I won't struggle financially.

Yes, I did this two years ago and it was the best decision. Work-life balance changed everything for me.

Money matters more when you have family responsibilities. Love for a job doesn't pay for education and healthcare.

Yes, life is short. I'd rather be fulfilled than chase higher numbers on a paycheck.
