Should my husband and I move closer to home and be near family if he keeps the same job and works remotely and I was offered a job with a 35% paycut? Cost of living is only about 10% less.

Question

Answer

based on finances alone? probably not. you'd have significantly less disposable income after accounting for everything. but for family? yes, definitely, if it's important to you and your family.

Answer

Thanks everyone for the thoughts, we can afford it, I just am having a tough time feeling like I’m going backwards in my career I’ve worked so hard for.

Answer

Depends on how important it is for you to be close to family. My family live in Canada and I live in the U.S. I like the distance between us as there's less family drama.

Answer

I’d say yes just because of family and having the extra hands with kids would be awesome! Although if you can’t afford the pay cut then I wouldn’t.
