<prompt> Human: Im considering taking a new job that would result in a pay cut of about 25-30k in pretax compensation as well as abandoning an unvested 401k contribution of 20k. Im thinking of doing this to eliminate my commute from a 45-55 minute drive to a 5 minute walk or 2 minute bike ride. It would also give me a more predictable schedule with fewer work hours. On the negative side the hours would be a bit strange at 11am-8pm. For what its worth my commuting costs are about 3000year including everything except the value of my time.Has anyone here done something similar? How did you feel after the changeMy financial situation is stable but I need to increase my savings. My only debt is a 170k mortgage on a house worth about 270k. In my current position I make about 120k with free healthcare and a 10 401k match. In the new position I would make about 100k and pay about 2k for health Insurance and get a 6 match. I also really like where I live so I dont want to move to my current job which is in a horrible location.What do you all think?  <response>: Less time spent traveling takes a burden off you emotionally and physically, so Id say invaluable.
