did you ever quit your job and took a new one where you made say $10-15k less?

There's a big difference between quitting a 100k job for a new 85k job with better satisfaction and quitting a 50k job for a new 35k job with better satisfaction.

It also depends very much where you live. Where I live (SF Bay Area), houses cost a million bucks or more so $100k doesn't go very far compared to most places in the country.
