This is a BFD. I know that I had colleagues in France when I was also doing contract work (amusingly as a US ex-pat) who a) didn't make as much as me but b) felt more secure in their future

Similar kind of situation if you're in the US but your spouse/partner has medical coverage through FT employment.
