Your whole talk of "peace of mind" is misguided, as it means different things to different people, the whole point of my original comment that seems lost on you. Thus there is no "best" way to go about getting peace of mind. For instance, I'm working on technology that reduce herbicide usage in row crop farming by 50%, while being in FANG pay bands, that brings me peace of mind.
If you are perhaps in uncertain visa/citizenship position or it some sort of financial state that is precipitously close to ruin and absolutely require absolutely no risk, FANGS may represent the "peace of mind" that you are trying put them off as, otherwise, you are exaggerating the difference. And most people find happiness through their relationships with other people, the nature of their work and the lack of financial difficulty (which hardly requires a FANG).

At least to me work is inherently stressful and I can't get peace of mind as long as I have to go to a job. You seem to love working so to you it doesn't matter if you have money or not, but that isn't normal most people don't like working for other people. So to me there is a huge difference between "lack of financial difficulties (if you work full time)" and "lack of financial difficulties (you don't need to work if you don't want to)".
