Picked the higher salary offer over my dream job. Regretted it after 6 months.

I took a property management gig paying $58k instead of the non-profit role for $44k. But the corporate culture was soul-crushing with zero flexibility, and I ended up quitting anyway. Has anyone else chased money and later wished they hadn't?

Man, I chased a paycheck once and ended up paying for it with my sanity.

Have you read that study about money only mattering up to a certain point? @kai_burns73 makes a solid point about sanity.

Throwing away your sanity for a few extra bucks sounds like a great trade-off until you realize you can't afford the therapy bills, lol.
