Well I can only speak from the point of being the bread winner for my household which the last few years has been getting hit hard by medical crisis after medical crisis, and despite every effort at cost cutting and saving, what cushion I've built up slowly gets consumed. And I'm in software.
The Aerospace folks don't enjoy the luxury of the exaggerated salary, last I checked.
So maybe there's some bias there. However, the circles I wander tend to face the same financial struggles as well. Just speaking from experience.

Aerospace engineers trend higher than most software engineer salaries.[1][2][3][4]
I don't know if you work in SV, but that may skew your perception on salary.

Engineers are well-paid, highly sought after individuals. As long as they manage their finances responsibly, walking away from a job should not be as dire as you make it sound.
