If lower salary means they won’t go bankrupt, and won’t have to sell their house or live paycheck to paycheck from a small medical issue it’s a Great trade off.

US adults have the shortest life span among the richest countries so it sucks even more, even your high salary and zero medical issue still means you are living inferior life.

If more money made for a better life, you’d think the US would rank higher in quality of life measures, rather than often being dead last among its peer OECD nations.

That line of thinking has very much been proven wrong by decades of facts.
