[quote=“Nikuk,post:77,topic:32801"”] 60k now is :tif:, even in WNY [/quote] That is most certainly not true. If you can’t live comfortable in WNY on that salary, you have a problem. ---

theblue is right- the “new” Wealth is time. I love my job / situation - my time is MINE, I work when I want to, how I want to, where I want to, on what I want to - and sure I make a LOT less than I could be, were I to do this kind of work for another company, but my time is worth a lot more to me than the money is - so long as I have enough to do the things I want to.
