The schedule is key to me. My flexibility allows for me to help bring our son (almost 2) to the doctor when needed. Go meet the wife for lunch a lot, as well as go home every day for lunch which saves $$.

Family time is the biggest. We bought an older home in the same neighborhood as my parents & my in-laws. Wanted my kid to be close to them..but at the same time if I'm always gone I didn't expect for them to raise him.


These 2 statements makes me think you would be much happier in the long run sticking it out at the family business. I've had to make a similar decision about 4 years ago. I choose to stay with the smaller pay for more family time. Never have regretted it.

This. In a few years you will be working for yourself. You will still be living comfortably. Also, how much is the business worth? (Answer that to yourself). You may be able to sell it one day and retire off of it.
