i have always said, it doesnt matter how much money you make if you hate your job.

so i would choose the job i would love and less money. i just semi retiered from a job that paid me 120k a year, but i worked in the worst environments, in the worst weather,with long hours and little to no time off, i was in the oilfield, building gas plants and oil refineries in Northern Russia, the Arctic Circle, and Saudi Arabia. i did get to build one in Cuba though.i dont know if i would go back and do it again even though i have been offered more money. now i am a bartender and i make 7 dollars an hour but i love my life.

no money is not everything in my opinion, i think it can bring a lot of stress, just the same as not having money, so at least if you enjoyed your job that could eleviate some of the stress.

as long as the job doesnt stress you,than go with the money, save it up , reitre early. if the job is awful, stressful, and you cant take it, lleave and go back to the job that pays less,even if that sme job isn t available, another one will be, give the big bucks a shotm and if you truly hate it you can quit with some extra cash in your pocket and than you cn tak a few months off if you like

That's my way of thinking.
