By God, I think I'm mad

[XMan]

Today, I turned down a large raise to accept a job working at the same salary in my hometown so I could be closer to my family.

The one good thing is the cost of living is about half than where I live now; I can buy a 3 bedroom, 2 full bath ranch, 1200 square feet, for several hundred less a month in mortgage payments than I'm making for a 2 br/1 ba, 800 square foot apartment.

I think you did well....

sounds like a fair trade-off to me

Good job. I did the same about 10 years ago.

Regardless of what Puffy would try to tell us, it's NOT all about the Benjamins.

Stay with the family... money is the root of all... unhappiness.

Only after living for quite some time in a big city I realize how good is to be somewhere far from it

Thanks. It's actually pretty close to Indianapolis too, so shopping options are more than available. Onr of the greatest thing about Indy is that one of the bigger online computer stores, Micro X-Press, has a B&M location there.

That sounds pretty darn good, family is always more important than money.
