I wonder if we all have to "learn" (experience) this in our own way. I
recently left a place I loved living (Colorado) for a job in Texas. I have
to admit that part of the motivation for leaving was money offered to me (as
well as career advancement). I have learned rather quickly, that the money
doesn't mean anything. I need to live where I am happy with my
surroundings. I am now planning my escape...
