<prompt> Human: Hello,x200B;I got married last March and my wife and I have been living in two separate cities for some time now. I live in Austin and she lives in Dallas. We visit each other every weekend. Our thinking was once i got vested with my company in June 2019 I move back to Dallas.x200B;However, Ive had some circumstances which is emotionally making me hate my job... but i dont want to quit if it doesnt make any financial sense.x200B;So heres my financial situation. I live with a friend here in Austin and my flat rent is 500 a month. I have a house in Dallas which is fully paid off. So i would no longer pay rent if i move back to Dallas.x200B;If i leave before June 2019, I will lose 15,000 in my 401k and I will lose my Annual Bonus in March of 8000, so total lost is 23,000x200B;I also drive back to Dallas every weekend and so that is a 7 hours on the road weekly.x200B;My income right now in Austin is 93,000 and I expect if I job hop I can make 105,000 in Dallas.x200B;What should I do :x200B;x200B;x200B;EDIT: My wife and I relationship is very good. Weve had this long distance relationship for about 8 years now so its nothing new. She is a nurse who works grave yard shift but has the weekends off, so thats our time we always spend together :  <response>: For me, not being with my wife would suck and no amount of money would make that worth it for me. If you think the pay increase is that much better in Dallas, then I think it totally makes sense to go to Dallas. I would start searching for jobs now, only moving once you have another one lined up. Of course, be sure to discuss it with your wife.
