At this point I'm going with 2 because of burnout and I've long since given up on the idea of buying property - my time and sanity is more important atm. As long as I can cover my basic expenses I'm fine. For me, part of cost of living pressures come from discretionary expenses borne out of the stress of FT work; in some way I can save money doing PT hours by accessing cheaper and more sustainable improvements in well being.
It's a fine balance though. Depends a lot on the actual $ offered and the nature of the job
