Absolutely not. Especially not if you have a family to support. People whine about lack of a “living wage”, living paycheck to paycheck, stagnant wages, etc all the time. The reason why people are in those positions is because they make stupid choices like this. It doesn’t matter if it’s “fulfilling” or not. The only thing that matters is how much money you make because “fulfillment” won’t pay the bills and send your kids to college, buy nice cars, buy food, or pay for vacation. Money does and will.

[@johnmartin4641]

@@nightfangs2910 I would imagine the suicide rate among broke people in debt is also high. I followed my own advice and I’m fine. I retired in my 50s because I made lots of money and now I’m 100% stress free because I can do whatever I want. The caller could do what my neighbor did: follow the money and retire early and wealthy, then pursue your passion after you retire early. He was a sales executive for a massive corporation and retired in his early 50s and is now a substitute teacher because he loves working with young people. Now he’s wealthy and lives the rest of his life in luxury and he gets to do what he loves. I suffered depression when I was in college because my parents wouldn’t let me transfer to my now wife’s college because my dad made the same stupid career choice being discussed in this video and I considered suicide because of it.

[@woodybop129]

I quit as a UPS driver (which i hated so much) to grade roads for the county. A lot less money but also a lot less stress and I love going to work everyday now.

How do you feel about it now? I'm in a situation where I may have to take a pay cut and not that I'm motivated by money but I'm mostly scared I may not like it and now I'd be stuck with a much lower pay...

Dave is SO much better than all the other hosts. I think he is trying to retire and that’s a shame because no one does it better.

[@rssand6840]

I wouldn't say they are worse than Dave. He is their employer so the other hosts have to give advice as though they are Dave Ramsey and promote his financial steps program at the same time. I'm sure it's easier said than done. They can only speak their mind so much, but if it's not something old Dave will not agree with, you best believe they aren't going to bite the hand that feeds them.

[@brett2396]

I have a similar dilemma in my life coming up soon. I have an opportunity to work a different job that’s way less stressful than my current job but maxes out around $50k-$70k less than my current job. I’m likely to take that lower paying job because the stress and hours are way lower. If I feel I need the extra money, I can take those extra hours I gained back and do side work to make back ~$25k of that. But only if I want to, I don’t necessarily need the extra income, I’ll be more than comfortable on the lower paying job.

[@johnmartin4641]

Choosing the long term higher payout is the way to go. The problem is that too many people today will choose a job they like even if it has less long term pay and then they turn around and go on social media about how it’s successful peoples’ fault they’re poor and complain about lack of a “living wage”, wage stagnation, income inequality, and living paycheck to paycheck. They did it to themselves with their own stupid choices. “Fulfillment” won’t pay the bills and send your kids to college. Money will.
