For me it ultimately came down to the fact I don't want to commute, I want maximum time at home, and there is a ton of earning potential for day trips out of Tampa that has me home every night. I know I'm taking a substantial loss in pay and retirement, but the gains in quality of life seem worth it to me. I'll let you know if I still feel that way in 33 years though. 👍🏻
