Only if you don't put a value on work happiness. And that might be fine. A spouse that doesn't have to work, kids, decent car that isn't always breaking down, vacation one or twice a year. We should all be so happy. But if your job is shit, your boss is shit, your coworkers are shit. Is it all really worth it? That's a personal question, with a personal answer, but some have done the calculus and chosen differently.
