I have moved jobs several times when I wasn't happy or didn't feel that I could continue to grow where I was at. Only once did I move where it wasn't a nice bump in pay, but on the way in I negotiated a pay increase after the first year if I could hit certain goals that I knew I could achieve.
If they want you, but can't quite afford you, then try negotiating a 20% increase after year 1, when you have made them some money and proven your worth. That would still just get you back to 72K, but would keep you on your current financial track.

I just moved to Colorado Springs this year and my family and I love it. Hit me up and we can have a beer. You won't regret moving here.

Colorado Springs is a great area. I lived out there for four years and loved it. The winters aren't extremely cold, sure, you'll have a few snowy days, but for the most part its very mild. The scenery is hard to beat, the people are friendly, and you're only 45 minutes from Denver. The cost of living in Colorado Springs is very affordable as well. I say take the new job, especially if it is truly a special place.

I'd push hard to get the new place to match your salary. I think the cost of living in Colorado is higher than most areas in Texas. That big of a drop while being single wouldn't be too bad. That big of a drop with two kids and a wife seems like it would be really tough, especially when you'd be moving to a more expensive place.
The people at the new place seem sensible. Explain to them both of those things, and they might accommodate you. Tell them yes, with the contingency that yall can agree on a salary that fits your life

The grass is not always greener. Leave because of a better opportunity, not because you are running away from a problem. Learn to deal with your boss and confront him if there are issues. There will be problems at the new place you will have to deal with.

I just moved out to Colorado this past July after living in Birmingham most of my life. I am in my mid 20's and just got married so our move was more about starting our life together in a new place....but man this is a great place to live. I live south of Denver and the cost of living is insane, but Colorado Springs is way more affordable. We thought about living there for a while but the better opportunity job wise was in the Denver area.
Ultimately money is a deciding factor and having stuff to do is great, but you really make big decisions like this because you're excited about the change and the new opportunity. I make close to the same here as I did in Alabama (and the cost of living is about double) but it was a great decision for us. Colorado Springs is very, very nice. If you are even questioning your current job and you and your family feel the least bit excited about a new place, then do it. I tell everyone back where I'm from that you could never regret moving to Colorado.
P.S. it does, in fact, smell like weed in a bunch of different places. But you get used to it.

The decision is fhis: I am being HEAVILY recruited by a similar organization in Colorado Springs, Co. I know nothing about Colorado. I pretty much hate cold weather but love the scenery up there. It's nearly a $10,000 pay cut as well. But it is the type of job I would thrive at. It is led by the type of people you dream of working for. It is truly a special place.
where are you moving from? Cause Colorado is a lot more expensive than pretty much everywhere in the south. You will feel the 10k pay cut.

Weighed all our options. spoke with my wife and friends that know me best...
Time to move on. By this time next month I'll be in Colorado Springs. My heart is full of joy and grief. I hate to leave behind those I love. and our financial future is certainly not as clear.
But I think this is the stuff that destiny is made out of.
Some men prefer the security of slavery to the uncertainty of freedom. I don't want to be one of those men!

Colorado's on the cusp of a $25 billion tax increase (edit) to pay for "universal health care."
Good luck with that, brosephus.

Also have to look at the cost of insurance etc. Medical insurance costs may be SIGNIFICANTLY different. At least check it out before making decision.

I'm sure this has been posted but if the outfit in co wants you, 10k isn't a deal breaker for them
