[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of high paying jobs really really suck and lower paying jobs are more enjoyable.

I’m the highest paid sibling and while making this money is nice, it’s a lot sacrifice and stress. I am completely tied down to a single geographical area that I don’t particularly enjoy because of it. I’d love to live somewhere else - but my career is here and I don’t want to give it up and become destitute. I only do my career at this point for the money not because I like it. If I had $10M liquid I would move to another region of the world and pursue my passions.

My siblings live wherever they want because they work service industry jobs that pay next to minimum wage, but their jobs are honestly fun and more fulfilling than mine - I envy them, minus the crappy income.

So if my parents decided to reward my siblings with all the money it would be like punishing me for trying to be the responsible one in the family. It’s super messed up to reward the children who chose fun over responsibility. [/quote]

I don’t really know of many “fun” service industry jobs paying minimum wage.  Nor is it fun to be working those jobs at 40.

I suppose the next time an adult serves me at McDonalds I will comment about how much fun they must be having (sure that will go over well).

I guess if a sibling is a river rafting guide or a ski instructor, those are possibly fun jobs…but they pay more than minimum wage.
