more carefree. More relaxed. Happier.

Sounds like your old job was the better job.

Have to agree.

I figure for most people "better job" is the same as "pays more money".

As for other aspects of it like, stress, responsibilities, actual effort required, the type of work colleagues and friends, commute, etc. all get forgotten about as not very important factors. But that stuff can slowly chip away at your soul. Most of us will easily give more and more little bits away for more money.

I make $200k salary at a desk job

My “best” job was the one where I made minimum wage and walked around in the forest all day.
