That’s totally a tricky situation. Even though I’m a huge advocate of paying off debt, growing your savings, and having some play money (yay for vacations, not that I know what that is). However, if you are planning on leaving work to start a family in 1-2 years, then I so go for the happiness assuming the reduced income doesn’t mean not being able to pay the bills. That’s my two cents.

JennJenn! I know this has been such a hard thing for you and an even harder decision. I only vaguely know what you’re going through, but mostly it’s just because I don’t really love what I do. I don’t hate my job, nor does it make me cry. But the idea of doing something I actually love does sound so appealing… but then there’s the issue of savings and making money while we can. It’s so hard!! I just want you to know that while I can’t fully understand the horribleness of your job, I understand your decision dilemna and know everything will turn out fabulously. You’re wonderful!!

I agree with you, Bags; however, right now we’re squirreling a lot away in savings. This leads directly to us having enough put away that I (hopefully) won’t have to work once we have kids. That thought makes me very happy.

How do you choose one happiness over the other?

Happiness > Money

The End.
