Trading off satisfaction/mental health benefits with the very real stress of "a financially challenging life" is something I am constantly confronted with when I look at our son's life (now 34). In some ways I admire his committment to NOT working 40 hours a week, so that he has time and energy for his art and music which is what really makes being alive worth it for him. But when he doesn't even earn enough to pay for a place to live, has no savings, no real future prospects of anything changing ... I am not sure that his satisfaction at working on art/music can balance that out.
