Would you move?

I need some advice.

The company my husband works for has turned out to not be the greatest place to work. They work the employees to death and don’t pay them nearly enough to justify working 60 hours weeks. We have no money leftover after paying our bills and getting groceries/gas. When the supervisor was trying to get my husband a raise the company said they “don’t really do raises here”.

A couple of states over(5-6 hour drive), my SIL works for a GREAT company who offer great pay, work life balance, and the town it’s located in is adorable and very community oriented.

The company my SIL works for is currently hiring and my husband has been thinking a lot about applying. It wouldn’t be the job my husbands wants to do as a career, but it could offer the time and money needed to purse his dream on the side (opening a butcher shop). Moving for this job may allow us to buy a house/farm like we’ve wanted but the problem is that both of our families live here. We live next door to his family and my family lives 5 minutes away. We love being around family and this is is the place we’ve both lived most of our lives.

We feel lost in this decision. On one hand, if we move we could afford a house, another child, have extra money, and live in a wonderful community but we would have to leave our families and the place that’s been our home for most of our lives. On the other hand, we could stay with our families but not make a lot of money to buy a house or have that much extra.

We are both young (23 & 22) and have 2 kids. I’m also not sure about moving if it’s not for his career.

What would you do? We’re scared to move away and be alone. My SIL is talking about moving back home bc she misses the family… I’m not sure if she would stay if we went. But we don’t know what else to do here. We feel like we’ve looking into every employment opportunity and we can’t find anything as good as where my SIL works. My husband has an associates degree and was one semester away from his bachelors but had to drop out for personal reasons.

Ughhh please help!! Any advice is appreciated!
