New job

For real 50 is the new 35

180k is plenty in California and you would have to be a retard to need to spend 50 hours a week working in a DBA role.

>Not working 32 hours with 3 day weekends

I feel bad for you guys. What a way to live.

Heh, I only work 30 and make 4 times local average salary

Do what gets you money first. When you get your money and have your life secured, do what makes you happy. Unless you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, took on some high income investment, or have some kind of outstanding talent (or very good looks), that's what normal people usually do.

So, to answer your question, yes, happiness is more important, but you have to be careful when searching for happiness by working.

>need to spend 50 hours a week
Need to...? Doesn't sound like you've had a job before.

Yes. I became an engineer for money . But i hate my job .
Gonna quit , and do some jobs that pay less but are more exciting. I don t give a shit about money anymore, i don t even think about retirement, i could die tomorrow or in 10 days or whatever. Why waste my time?

if you save up maybe $200k and invest smart you won't need to work again

Most of my coworkers work around 40-50 hours a week and I work 35. Nobody cares because I things done faster than everyone else. If you need 50 hours, that's your problem

>we should spend most our life working to exhaustion

is this the American dream I've heard so much about?
