<prompt> Human: I currently live in NC and make decent pay. 55k salaried a year to be exact. As a single man, its more than enough to pay off my student debt, have a decent car and live in a comfortable apartment. The only problem is Im not from here and since moving down for this position and pay I havent been too happy with my life outside of work. I work nights and weekends and havent had any chances to make friends or enjoy a night out.An opportunity came up in Portland, OR that has a better title, hours, but less pay. With the same company I also have friends that reside in Portland, so Im sure Id have a better life outside of work.Do you guys here think its worth it to relocate for less money but potentially have a better overall life?EDIT: Grammar.  <response>: Oregon will make you happier, for sure.I used to live in Vegas making about 70k, gave it up for a 49k job here in Portland. Nice people, great camping and outdoor activities. I, too, had trouble meeting new friends, but luckily out here meetup is strangely active. Lots of people doing lots of things.tl;dr - Move to Portland, money will not buy your happiness. Friends and feeling at home will give you happiness.Edit: a word
