I am 40 years old. I have worked in my family biz for 18 years. I long time invested (keep in mind). In about 10 years I will have the opportunity to buy the company from my father, then in 10 more years or so sell the company for my retirement. I am an outdoor enthusiast and live in a metropolitan area. I have a chance to pursue a different career with a large company (forbes top 200) doing similar work to what I do now, sales, but re-locate to a very desirable location. With in 20 miles of all the outdoor recreation I love, and have a passion for. It is not like Im completely unhappy living where I do, but the location is where I would choose to live out of anywhere else in the world! Its near all the skiing, fishing, hiking etc I love to do, just a fanastic scenic part of the world. So I feel my choice is between a more lucrative career, eventually being a business owner, or a less lucrative career, perhaps less slightly less income in the long run, and definitely less retirement income when the time comes, but live in a location I love. Move would actually put me closer to my parents, but further away from my 3 siblings(family). Move involves a 12 year old daughter who is obviously reluctant to move, and my wife who is ready for a change. I often feel like the grass is always greener and of course it is not. Question is should I make the move, is it more important to live near the things you love or stick with a career Ive invested a lot of time towards with a great future, keeping in mind it doesnt completly suck where I live and work now.
