Even $20k is going to be $12k/year after taxes. Four years of that not only means your next job will negotiate against a higher base, but will be $50k in your pocket, either for savings, a down payment, or to take a year off of working during your one and only life to see the world, write a book, learn something interesting, give you the time to start your own company, or who knows...
- partisan 11y agoYou are right and I was speaking purely from my experience. In the past few years, I just about doubled my income, but it hasn't made me much happier at all. It comes down to priorities. For some people, the priority is money. For others, it is happiness. If money is going to buy you happiness, then I guess the choice becomes easier.
