RE: What I Learned From a Stroke at 26: Make Time to Untangle
That is absolutely terrifying! I've been guilty of overworking both as my own employer and under other employers. The human body is not made for sitting at a chair in front of a pc for 70 hours a week with so many deadlines you are always frantic. It's not healthy! I think it's worth taking a less stressful job and have more free time than take a high-stress but high paying job.
As my own employer I have the luxury of enjoying a day off when I want it. I have commitments to some degree, but if I want to sleep in or work extra late I have that flexibility. I make a lot less than my corporate job I had before, but I have enough to live off of. And that's better than so much stress.
