Second year looks great on paper, but that is just pay and QOL is always a gamble. So for now I will just forget about the Jones' and just get the best QOL and live very happily with in my means. That is freedom and QOL. IMHO.
Just sayin.........
How mature of you, or maybe, better said how karmaic.
Its like all the advice of "would you choose X over Y." You do not have a decision until the offer comes. I have been faced with the same sort of decisions and I am still here. Does that make me a loser?
In the end, it is up to the individual. If you live within your means and you are happy in your own skin, any path chosen will probably be okay. If you don't live within your means and you can't be happy with your path in life, no employer will make you happy.
Money is great. Excess money gives peace of mind. Happiness comes from within. Your fortune cookie moment of zen.
