Do you have children? $500 a month for 2-3 days a week (at a place that doesn't stink of piss and ) is a steal. Guess San Antonio is different.

Yes, I have a daughter, almost 3. This place has 3 playgrounds (so the big kids aren't pushing the smaller kids around), a pool (for kids 3 and up with free swim lessons), Other "pay" activities (like a ballet school comes and does lessons for $60 for a two month class), a set and scheduled lesson plan, and a 1 teacher to 7 (or 8, cant remember)kid ratio. I feel like I hit the jackpot, because she was in a daycare which cost about $120 more which had none of those things (other than one playground).

well?

I decided not to go for a couple of reasons.

1. I realized that work reimbursed me for some education expenses last year, that if i left now, i would have to pay back 100%

2. I took a small 401k loan last year to pay off one of my wife's high interest credit cards. if i left now, i would owe back the balance immediately.

Both wouldn't be that big of a deal, but it was enough to send me to the...wtf am i thinking this isn't worth it, category.

if you'll need full time day care for your child, the new job's offer goes down about $10k. I used to have a job where my boss lived in a different part of the country. I quit that job for what I thought was better money. Turns out money isn't everything- it isn't even close. I left the new job after 5 weeks and have been trying to get a job like the old one ever since.

Schedule autonomy and nobody over your shoulder is about priceless, IMO. My advice? Stay where you are.
