Chuck, what do you mean by unfortunately? Expand on that- I am currently in the midst of considering an offer making much more money in SoCal but the family loves Texas - I have always gone with the money??? share some wisdom dude - many of us young(er) guys are making decisions on the road you've already travelled - are you saying place matters more?
In my opinion, when you are young (25-35), place doesn't matter and you can "follow the money". This exposes you to many different places and lifestyles from which you can choose from later.
You pay a price by following money. Kids without roots to a community, change of friends, re-establishing. We moved 11 times in 33 years of marriage. When we were young it was great stuff but as you get older it becomes more difficult and other factors start to come in.
