[quote=Anonymous]1) I was mostly in the "go for it" group until you said Florida.  Several reasons I wouldn't live there again (aside from politics which IS a real issue in many parts of the state).  Have you visited the city you are looking in, to be sure you aren't in love with the 'idea' of what you expect there vs. the reality.  Assume you have already.
 
2) FWIW, I wouldn't uproot my family for a small pay increase (so hopefully its meaningful) - and especially if the job market there will sustain you and DH if either of you losses your job.  It's going to be much harder to move your kids when they get just a few years older.

3) I would be sure the cost of real estate that you would buy is within budget/commute/school districts you want.  When we moved there (granted it was about 12 yrs ago), we rented for ~4 months while we house shopped.  And when all was said and done we realized that to get a similar house to what we had before was actually going to cost more than expected because we were in a popular coastal city.  So make sure you do your homework on that big ticket item
