Tell that to somebody who has a family, or is paying child support/alimony. I'm sure their ex will sympathize that it's not about your wallet, but your mind.


Thank you, just quitting and crossing your fingers hoping you'll maybe get a new job at some point in the next 1-100 months is not an option for anyone with actual responsibilities.


So that is what you'd say... to this guy the day before he did what he did? uh...

What responsibility is he addressing now? What money is he bringing in now?

Exactly. Nothing.


Yea, I'm sure losing your home, wife, and family, or getting served papers by your ex and declaring bankruptcy, would work wonders for your mental health. Events like that never drive somebody to suicide. Nope.


consider that for some people the alternative to quitting is mental health breakdown that often results in conditions that will MOST DEFINITELY cause your ex to miss her alimony payment, well, I'm not seeing what your point is.

if it's really a matter of life and death, and it is, then doing what you need to do in order to step off the ledge is the only thing that matters.


What does this guy's family think now that he's gone? His child?

I'm sure your worth is more than just Alimony.
