Good to know you're happy with your lot, but might want to review your thought processes that leads you to calling someone bitter based on one post they make.
12 years in the industry and flying an A320 for a big airline is very different from the OP with 1500+ hours (2-3 years flying commercially?) and I would wager to say your financial health is very, very different from the OP. Feel free to show your bank balance if you feel the need to do so to disprove me. You said you worked extremely hard in the early part of your career; isn't the OP exactly at that point in his career? Could you really "prioritise life outside work" with a huge debt + type rating bond hanging over your head?
