Do you think this was a worthwhile trade-off? Would life be that much worse back home near family, with a stagnated career owning your own cheaper home?

you can earn 100k, blow 90% of that for rent/mortgage and general living expenses in a big city or get to live with your parents and earn half while saving much more.

maybe that doesn't appeal to a lot of people, they look at the CTC as opposed to your net savings
