Sounds to me like in the plus and minus columns, the new jobs only minus is the less money part.  But if you look at the overall compensation package, is it really less money?  

I can tell you that a few years ago my husband was working at a job he hated, outrageous hours,crappy boss, but the pay was excellent.  He wanted out.  We talked.  Worked on the budget and figured for his health and well being, we could make it.  (Keep in mind we had two children in college at the time.)  He took a job with much better working conditions, appreciative bosses, a lot less pay.  Five years later I can tell you without reservation, it was the best thing he did, not only for himself but for the wellfare of his family as well.
