Just recently, I quit a miserable, soul-sucking job and gave up my office, my title and a not small chunk of my salary in the process. It's taken me a while to check my ego and realize that I am in a much better place now. If I had only understood that quality of life was so much more important than money and status, I would have quit years ago. .-= Meg at Demanding Joy´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/demandingjoy/~3/Qm8oe6XUjPg/" rel="nofollow">Words of Encouragement</a> =-.

Yes, there are many things to do about the golden ones, but I find that the benefits are hard to come by AND paying on your own makes those handcuffs a little tighter.

Myself included. I do have a stable job, I got it offered after I was hired to code a full game (the project was caned). And yes you often stay for all the extra things beyond your salary. I think it's also a good idea, if you are willing to use those handcuffs, to start investing in ways to sustain yourself and get out of them. For example I'm investing in passive income ways, once I get enough to live I will just leave my job and keep my freelance projects rolling along.
