[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have been happy to go 10 years ago before having kids.  I just feel like my priorities have changed and its more important to me to be close to my family than live in a place with great weather.  [/quote]

I'm just trying to help you see the upside.

You say "it's not that much money" but I think 10% kind of is a lot of money, especially when you consider that's it's not just the add'l 10% in year 1 of that job, but raises beyond that that he wouldn't be able to get otherwise.[b] I think I would be upset if my spouse asked me to turn something like that down[/b].[/quote]

I'd be upset if I had been telling my spouse for a while that I wanted to move, and telling my spouse I'm ready to advance in my career, and trying, to no avail, to find a job with said advancement here, and then found a job that pays more with advancement opportunity in the place I've been wanting to move... and the spouse still said no.

At that point, I'd say, "fine.  It's a priority for you to live here, and I'm sacrificing what I want.  So how about I'll stay home with the kids and you get a job."
