I'm probably in the same place as you. Had very great offers (and I mean really great ones) in London for working in finance. I ended up contracting/freelancing instead for a nice company that still pays me decent money (less than half of the London one) and is actually doing something I believe in and, as you, makes me better off compared to my peers, but also allows me to live in an amazing place and have a much better quality of life.
