If I were working with horses and husband made enough for it not to matter, yes.

Is there a scenario where you would take a 40% pay cut?


I can't think of an instance where I would voluntarily take that kind of pay cut...40% change in pay (either up or down) is life-changing money...

OK. Assuming you don't hate your job, would keep the same job and move to any location in the US for a 40% pay cut?

I think that's why most people leave for jobs, they can't make a decent living doing what they want to where they want to live

Yes. I could always work a side job or a seasonal job. Plus, (assuming) my wife would keep her salary, it's certainly doable.

I would have to have a 40% pay increase to move to the places that are better than where I live now.

It depends. Do you dislike where you live? I value that over pay as long as it is a good job. Especially if you can move anywhere you'd like

I'm not inclined to take the pay cut at all but I'm certainly not trading the South for New York or the Left Coast AND taking a 40% bath.

I recently took almost a 40% paycut. I moved from Houston at about 90k to Bozeman, MT for just under 60k.

I couldn't be happier. Cost of living and quality of life can make-up for any pay decrease.
