> 20% less, maybe 15% net income less ain't that huge of a deal - if it is, something ain't right in your finances anyway

or else, something maybe horribly broken in your country.

I'm happy for you, that you can easily dismiss 15% net income. Try that in Hungary, where generally two full time jobs together are nearly insufficient just to stay afloat.

> One needs to be happy or at least content with its own life to make others happy too, and thats not achievable easily in rat races

Very true, which is why mental health issues are rampant in the Eastern Bloc.

Doesn't help that the average attitude of people here of mental health is that it doesn't exist.

My family used to believe, adn they still do, that the only reason you'd go to psychiatrist is because you're "weird" and that only crazies who belong in mental hospital go there...
