I heard back from the job I had interviewed for a week ago. This is the one that is 20 miles from home. I currently make $95,000 and they want to pay me $55,000. Hah! Like we could do that.
Of course, I do spend ~$20,000 driving to work and living down there during the week. But, when we sell the house down there and I stay with my co-worker for those days (she is going to charge me $100 per month), we'll be saving about $900 per month. That leaves the gas, at about $500 per month now. But that is only $6000 a year. A huge difference between $6000 and $40,000.
The other thing to think about, though, is that I would be home every night. I think that maybe if this opportunity came in a few years after we have the farm bringing in some money, that might work. But right now, I'm supporting both us AND operating expenses for the farm, so we couldn't do the things we want to do in the next few years if I took this job.
$40,000 pay cut?

This economy is great! Sigh.
