Lots of interesting discussion around this. It seems like the underlying question is, “can you handle work stress or money stress more easily?” (thread)https://twitter.com/marthakelly/status/1125536070852960256 …

But stress seems to come out of the same well. It’s just that money stress draws two buckets where equivalent work stress will draw one. So if I can lower my money stress, it’s like I can take on 4x more stress at work, if that makes sense. That’s just how my brain works.

I think you need to distinguish which kind of stress. I think it’s @avantgame who talks about eustress from a project you like vs. distress. Money stress is almost always distress but work can be either.

I’d be interested in delineating types of work stress also. I experience two kinds: the usual challenges of system development, but also the need to simultaneously protect it from powers of darkness in high places. The latter is where the vast majority of my energy goes.

That's been my experience too. I find the stress of the "work" fine, sometimes even enjoyable. The stress of protecting the work or my position are super draining.
