It's a great way to look at peril (physical or moral) posts:

"Will I make enough money over my current salary to (1) move substantially closer towards my financial life goals (funding kids' education, house, caring for parents, retirement, etc) & (2) fund my R&R, unemployed, for long enough to put my head and soul back together?"

Often the answer is yes, but it's definitely a different way of looking at a job. Still trying to do a great job, but knowing there's a 1/2/4/8 year expiration date on your working there.

And yes, at the hazard of putting it out there, I'd say believing in the mission vs not is worth ~25% salary to me.
