<prompt> Human: So Ive been working with a rather large marketing firm for about a year now as a contractor. Having just got married, I finally gave in and accepted an offer with the company to be a full-time employee as of last week.The job I perform now is more with the production of our services and making sure everything runs in an efficient manner. I get along wonderfully with my boss and my team and for the first time in a long time, Ive actually enjoyed coming to work. The benefits at this company are on the better side. Oh, and the commute is 1.5 miles, so I go home for lunch and take my dog out and save money making my own food.The new opportunity is more Account Manager with a salesy type of role for one a very large company. The base salary is almost double my salary with potential bonuses not included. If the salary was even remotely close, I would not consider the move. However, my wife and I are in about 80k in debt 15 in CC, rest in student loans and I feel like its almost my obligation to pursue the new opportunity and get us debt free.My wife just graduated nursing school and is awaiting the arrival of her IL Nursing License so she does not currently work but will hopefully be within a short matter of time.Thoughts?Update: Im currently making around 45k and the new job will offer 80k not including potential bonuses. New job is about 20 miles from where I currently live, no public transport available.Update 2: Wow, didnt expect so much feedback from what I just considered an online venting session on Reddit, I really appreciate everyone taking time to offer input. Im going through the responses now.  <response>: SV17,I made this choice 5 years ago. Please consider this. The extra money. It will be amazing for the first year or two. But then if youre not slick with your money you will find that your lifestyle has grown to reflect your current earnings. At which point you will feel like its your old jobs pay without the career you enjoy. On the same note if youre much smarter with your finances then I was it might be worth it. But now I hate my job and im not much better off for finances. with that being said I do enjoy a life where all my bills are paid on time and my gf and I live fairly debt free
