[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]For the love of god don't chase the dream, follow the money[/b]

Buy that house in California; I know $400k seems like a lot of money (I mean your childhood home is worth $40k in 2010), but that is dirt cheap where it is going. [/quote]

As a 20-something who stumbled upon this thread (it's under Recent Topics), I'm honestly curious - do most people reading this feel this way?[/quote]

I am 43 and I definitely don't feel this way.  Most people who follow the money aren't the happiest in middle age.  That being said, living within your means is key.  I happened to end up making more money than I ever imagined in a career that had meaning to me, but it's not what brought me the most happiness by a mile.  I left that high paying job after fifteen years and achieving my goals to pursue a lower paying new career, and feel fortunate that I am able to make those kinds of choices.  I know plenty of people who envied me for leaving, but couldn't imagine giving up the $$$.  You have one life...[/quote]
