I am glad that you have made a conscious decision about what is important to you. It took me about two years of work in a commercial environment to actually internalise this and realise I much preferred working 40 hour weeks and freeing up more of my time to enjoy an equal relationship that was not polluted by the involvement of money. I am at the point now where I think my "passion" for programming has been destroyed by work, and I think I am happier for it. I am still very willing to negotiate and participate in trades where I exchange valuable programming in return for money. Working 40 hours a week for $1.5x in an environment where everyone goes home by 5:30pm seems more promising than working 55 hours a week for $1.0x where employees are starting to fall apart.
