    Buying clothes without missing buttons or holes in em was cool.

    Being able to rent an apartment where there was 1 couple per bedroom also, very nice.

    Not having to steal food whenever I could, also, a lot easier. That tension headache I carried for like five years melted.

    The quality of life that came with a regular schedule (having all weekends off!) and the higher salary is immeasurable. I am not stressed about money anymore and I have time to do activities with friends and family.

    Stability. Not having to worry if my job is still secure by next year is such a sweet feeling.

    I might not earn as much as I could, but knowing that I have secured a good income all the way to my pension (barring any calamities) is definitely worth it.

        No, I got a permanent contract for a well paying job in the public sector. The job security is great and there’s a solid pension plan.
        It’s what my partner likes to call an “iron rice bowl” :)

    I got to work from home, got to improve my home office setup, and I have been able to buy a house. I love being able to live with my wife and partner and being able to not freakout about a surprise bill.
