Saw this poll in JobsDB.com's site: "I'm now in my 40s and I'm willing to forego high pay for a more fulfilling and meaningful job / life".
 
Interestingly I am now in my 30s and I am already foregoing a senior post in a SME in Singapore for something less, because I want to be able to spend more time with my son.  In fact, a few of my peers are feeling the same way as me.  Is this a sign of earlier burn-out in the younger generation?  Does it mean that people are more pampered than earlier generations, or that the worklife demands placed on people nowsaday is so great that burn-outs occur earlier in the career life?
