You are in a large team are working day and night at reasonable work schedules, and your company keeps you in check. The company's management is satisfactory and all, and you get paid with very high salaries, to the point that you can't find any jobs around the world with similar management skills. The problem is, you and the rest of the team are working on a project. This project, because of company policy, must be maintained and be supported until you and most of the team are about to retire.This project is used by millions of people around the world, and they are dependent of your project. This project brings happiness and improves living conditions to them, thus it brings many benefits to all. However, the project brings unhappiness to you. As you work day by day, maintenance and support becomes gudgingly upsetting, even your co-workers are getting restless and maddening. You complain to your boss, and they tried to help you out. They want you healthy, gave you all sorts of full insurances: car, health, life, etc., and receive full retirement pay, because you and your team are the only people on this planet who knows about the project, and have the endurance to work on it more. The company could train other people to work on this, but it makes newcomers insane, be driven into oblivion, filled with madness, and makes them impossible to be cured. The project is "cursed". You wanted to quit this job very badly, but you can't find any other jobs with such decent pay. Even if you did leave, your life will then becomes dependent on this company. Your debt will quickly rise because of high tax fees, will crush you, and there's no other quick getaway for you to finish it off. Wil you go insane and continue with the project? Will you rather die, like the suicidal workers at Foxconn? Or will you go away, be free from everything, and live by nature?

a) not that hard to save money and quit, then ""survive"" for several months without a job

You must have a very high discretionary income ( disposable income ) .

It's obvious. The OP was about "very high" salary. Maybe everyday needs include bitches and caviar every day, than maybe it's hard to save money.

Don't quote out of context please.
EDIT: or English fails here again. Anyhoo, the OP was about high salary
