When you're making $80m over 8 years, does another $1m per year really mean a whole lot? Or does all the priceless stuff - like the time you and your family get to spend with loved ones - matter more?

Well since you asked... I would maximize my earnings because I know my playing career is short and I'll be able to go home when I retire at the tender age of 35ish.
If I worked for some O&G company and I could make $150k in a US city, uncertain if/when I could ever return home, or $125k to stay put, I probably choose to stay home so my kids are close to family.
