Happiness and good mental health is worth more than money.

[j.mney]

This seems like a no brainer. Even with dropping income by $15K that is well worth doing something she is happy with and having less stress.

[kiersten]

I’m an ER RN and definitely needed to hear this. The job is hurting my mental health.

[tealpatt]

Regardless of the pay cut and regardless of the dollar amount....NO AMOUNT of money is worth sacrificing your overall state of health... unfortunately many people don't learn this lesson until they've already lost their health and have had to go through the process of regaining it! I promise you ...speaking from first-hand experience no amount of money and no job is worth sacrificing your health for.

[stephanieh]

Health and peace of mind is worth leaving a job.

I’m currently a teacher.

Thinking of changing my career-
I’m extremely burned out!

[figuringoutfinance]

Life is a long journey, and without enjoying it enough along the way, it's a difficult thing to endure. Enjoy every day, and protect things that boost your mental health and morale. All the best folks!

[gp]

Always refer to your budget. If you’re paying off your debt every month, even after a pay cut, you’re fine. Jobs come and go, but real wealth comes sticking with a job long term that fulfills your health and budgeting needs.

[kristenzavo]

Great advice here. We often forget that staying in job that is not right for you has significant costs as well (time, health, energy, relationships, and more).

[edhcb]

This lady’s income is directly tied to her sense of self worth.

[DemetriPanici]

It's important that anyone think about what they are doing with their life and consider whether they have the ability to do something they enjoy more

[danielrn]

I am a RN. Best part is the freedom to work pretty much anywhere. I am single no wife/kids and I have zero debt and haven't made less than 100K since 2007. If a person can handle it I would say it is a pretty good career.

[Dominicano]

Dave should do a study on the percentage of times that high income earners drown in a cup of water.

[Piccolo_Re]

These people are insanely rich. Why is she even worried about dropping her income a little? If you are worried about money when your family is making $200k a year you have bigger problems than your job.

[kingshomes]

🚨RN- recession & pandemic resistant career, there are so many jobs - they deserve more pay !!!

[texttwenty-nine]

This is fantastic advice. I make decent money at a factory. I've been working here for 10 years. I work 12 hour rotations. Over the last year, I've noticed changes in my body... I feel like I'm dying, man....lol. I enjoyed this job a lot until I got older than 25. The work isn't difficult at all; It's the hours.

Recently, I was offered a paid internship in tech, with an opportunity for full-time employment. If I get a full-time offer, I'm looking at changing careers.

[patty]

$85 as a school nurse!!! Even in my area it’s almost a min wage job.

[markeayers]

GO DO IT! Sometimes we just need to hear another authoritative voice to tell us what we already know. Kind of like that little push to get off the fence. Be smart, but be BOLD!

[markg]

Not about what you make its what you save/invest. Most people fail big in that dept.

[djpuplex]

When I heard those salaries I didn't hear California.

[LegendaryWoke]

Passive bragging is all these type of people do, like ok just pay it and stop calling in to show off. Gross!
