Personally - unless my income was needed for a STAPLE like the roof over our heads I would do what needed to be done to my budget to allow for the loss of income if the client was making me think about termination on that level and making be feel under valued and taken advantage of - life is too short - I have one I muse about being DONE with but they only have 2 months of care before being naturally done with and in reality they pay on time, supply what they need and so forth it is just that they are not EASY to work with that's for sure.

However I have always been one to put my quality of life about financial things ... I have always trusted that my 'financial needs' will be met in one way or another .... I once took a job working in a factory because I felt burnt out in this field and needed a change and well partially because I was feeling 'undervalued' for the amount of work I was doing for the company ... the factory job paid $6 more an hour than my current job and was a job a MONKEY could do it was so repetitive and brainless so I thought 'oh awesome what I could do with all that EASY money' .... however I HATED it ... the people were horrible and lazy and did nothing but complain about not being paid enough for the work - the work was so mundane I would be falling asleep standing up at my station - I felt so bored and unhappy and well that the work had no meaning despite the pay it was not 'enough' cause it was affecting my mental and physical well being ... I quit that job without even having a new one lined up and ended up going back to working in centre care for not only less than I was making in the factory but less than I had been making before I took the factory job because it was a new company and I lost my seniority ... it was a financial adjustment however I had never been HAPPIER and in the long run that is what matters in life because being stressed and unhappy does damage to your body that no amount of $$ can repair!
