Id make the sacrifice of less money for more time with SO every day that ends in y.

Or if this is serious, this 'sacrifice' he's making by staying put, advancing in his job, and making a lot more and a brighter financial future in say 5-10 years is worth it.

Lets throw solid #s out.

Say he's making 60k right now and a lateral move would be 65k to be with his S/O. What if this long distance is for only a year and he ends up making 80-85k? I'll sacrifice a year's of time to solidify a 20k/yr raise for the next decade.

That's 200k in 10 years. That's half of a decent sized house for him, his wife, and future mini-me's. That's 200k of funds he pockets to 'sacrifice' less time with his S/O.

In the 21st century, there's enough technology for you to spend time with someone. It isn't about the amount of time, but the quality of it spent with your loved ones.
