I couldn’t agree more. During my long career in finance/investments/portfolio management, I was often recruited by just about every investment banking firm on Wall Street. I could have easily made over ten times what I earned during my career, but there was no way I was going to sacrifice the quality of life that I enjoyed living in the country and commuting to Hartford. I can happily say that I will never go to NYC again in my lifetime.
