I got off the corporate crack addiction before it overwhelmed me but I always found that the more money I earned, the more pressure I was put under and the less financially well off I was also. I reached a water margin with my salary beyond which i was always hopelessly in debt. I had a really good salary in my last ever job but...
I rented a flat in the middle of London that would be expensive for two people and paid it on my own, I drove a brand new car which I got on a ludicrous repayment scheme and I paid for stuff on credit cards and never ever managed my finances at all. The credit cards started as a work related thing (buying goods on work research trips) but rapidly got out of hand and became my sole source of finance when my monthly income was going straight out of my account to pay for my lavish lifestyle. So before I knew it I was horribly horribly in debt, yet I had this huge salary!
That's why I walked and just do what I do now. I'll never be rich like this, I know, but I wont ever be as fucked as I was back then.
