Heh, this is my problem. I love my job(work at a huge games studio, I'm part of a fantastic team working on game that is and will be enjoyed by millions) but I make terrible money, especially for a C++ programmer. On one hand, compensation is shit, on the other, I do something that I absolutely love.

You know what. You should leave and find more profitable work. Invest that additional money into things you enjoy (which might still be gaming or creating games).

Don't let an industry take advantage of your limited time on this planet like that. It will end up not being worth it and you might not realize until it's too late.

I am not from the field, but the gamedev scene seems to be full of cases like this.
