Peace of mind over peace of wallet for me, every time.

Peace of mind largely depends on peace of wallet for a lot of people. Imagine a life without a care for accommodation or travel. Suddenly you can go wherever you want whenever you want and work on whatever you want without a care.

		Good point, but I know a number of pretty wealthy people. They have cares and stress, too; just different from your average Joe[line]. > and work on whatever you want without a care Many companies that pay you lots of money, do so, on the condition that you work on whatever they want you to work on. They also get first dibs on the benefits from that work, usually leaving you with fairly dilute equity, or controlled bonuses, if you're lucky.

Hear hear. I feel lucky to have a stable job in education even if I make less than my big tech colleagues.
