<prompt> Human: My husband works in a very specialized role in tech. This year we decided to leave the city to settle down in a new state with a lower cost of living. He was able to transfer his position. We bought a beautiful home in an area we love, and I found a job I love too. Right now hes making 120k and Im making 60k. Hes now being headhunted for a position in another state that wants to offer double his current salary. He feels very loyal to his current company, which moved a lot of pieces around to make this transfer work. But theyre working him to the bone. Truth is, this other company probably would, too--though theyre a more stable company. Im feeling a little blinded by the money and am looking for perspective. We have no debt other than our mortgage but are looking at needing new vehicles soon. No kids, but want to start soon and our current home and location was chosen with that in mind. This new position would be back to a big city. We also have aging parents who will need financial support soon. Current location is closer to family, new location would mean flying back and forth to visit aging parentssoon to be grandparents. We do have friends in the new city and we both love that city, but were over 30 and looking to start a different phase in our lives. Right now were leaning toward no, but is this a mistake? What should we be considering that we currently arent? Thanks for any feedback.EDIT: Thanks for all the feedback so far. I know were extremely fortunate to have this problem too. Im visiting with out of state family so may be away for a bit but will check back in later if anyone has anything else to share. Thanks again.  <response>: I dunno I get the whole american dream thing, but the idea of perfection is just too unrealistic. The house doesnt make the dream. This is just me, but Id take the security of the better financial situation. The house is just a house its the memories you make with your family that make it a home.
