<prompt> Human: Im probably going to get downvotes for this but here goes. Anybody else work a relatively low paying job, but enjoy it so much you dont want to leave? Not only is the job I do quite niche so cant just find another company that does this around the corner, but I love the people, the work, the relaxed atmosphere. And as someone who struggles with anxiety and introversion and depression, having a nice work environment that I dont dread going to everyday literally keeps me sane. However I am faced with having to live on my own now breakup so Ill have to make due with just my income. A lot of people are on me about going back to school for some high paying field or trying to find some other job, basically not what I do now but related enough for me to get hired. And I get it - financial security is important and I live in a high cost of living area. But this job is like my second home and I feel like the mental emotional heath benefits of liking where you spend 40 hours a week are a big deal at least they are for me. I dont mind living cheaply, although living in cheap housing worries me a bit. Just wondering if there is anyone else who feels the same way - or if anyone has good tips for dealing with savings and finances with a lower paying job? 38 yrs old, About 35k a year net  <response>: If it makes you happy, who cares what anyone thinks.
