i actually felt way more stressed when i started making more money because it opened up way more possibilities which led to analysis paralysis.

Yes, I did say my first adult job -- that's where I went from scrounging paycheck to paycheck to make rent, to being comfortable setting up autopay for my bills. However, I've never been payed at the analysis-paralysis level.

There's a sweet spot, I think, between barely scraping by, and keeping up with the Joneses.
