Had a job that payed 1000 euro a month, hated it, was dying inside, quit, now i get by with twice as less and lead three times happier life. I'm not the type of guy to sacrifice that for material stuff, money and belongings can't make me happy, sadly realised that after reaching the breaking point, better late than never I guess. You should never do something you really hate just for the money.
People having children on other hand I can understand, I will also probably be less picky and take allot more shit for the sake of my child if I have one some day. I also do it for a partner but only to a certain extent, nowhere near as the child I believe.
