As someone that lost approx. 30% of salary to do a new job, I do less money, but I am happier and I have less anxiety. Money isn't everything. Sure you need to do enough to have a decent life and eat well, but you make some sacrifice and it become natural with time
27 USD to 17 USD, perhaps 27 was my top salary at the moment and 17 was the first step in the salary chart. In approx 10 years I will reach the 27 USD.
In my area 27/h USD is a good salary and 17 is decent
Yeah but we made a budget and my girlfriend have a good salary, so we changed some things to help. I went back to school, so when I finished we put a year on the side to pile a cashdown. We bought a house last year, we got 2 children. We are not rich but we can live well. I am a little limited in my english so I can't explain with the right words, but we had like 4 rough years while I was back at school. I dropped more than 30% at the start but right now it's approx. 30% less. But in construction I was too anxious, I wasn't happy with all the hours. I regret nothing.

It seems like she loves what she does… so it probably makes the pain of poor wages barely tolerable.
