Stay at your current job. Why move with a newborn with all the hassles and lose connections with all the people you know where you live currently? I would choose happiness over money. And plus with your owning nearly 30 guns, say bye bye to them. California isnt all its made out to be in all honesty. My uncle moved out there 3-4 years ago and he says housing is STUPID expensive, the laws out there are way more strict, hell my cousin got a $100 ticket for not wearing a helmet riding a bicycle lmao. (You have to be 18).

Honestly, This is up to you and your wife. What is best for you all as a married couple. Not up to some people on TheTechGame. I know you want opinions, But nobody here knows you like your wife. So ask her for your help. Do what is best for you and your family dude. That is all I can say.

Where abouts in California would you have to relocate? Just about anywhere South of San Francisco is expensive. Your pay might go up but so will your cost of living.

All in all if you like your current position and you make enough money to live comfortably, why change positions?

Yeah, i have been to California once before and i was not a fan at all..

I think you made the right decision for the time being if you enjoy it at your sheriffs department. You might eventually become the county sheriff

24 would be considered a small size one around here. The county I live in has like 100

It's still affordable though. The standard of living evens out just like anywhere. It costs more to live there but the jobs pay more.

So basically in the end what happens is you just play with different numbers. At the end of the month, your bills are still the same X% of your paycheck they were before, it's just a different dollar amount than usual. You give up so much to be in the exact same financial spot in a different location hoping that it works out and that it leads to better things down the road. For example, people thing it would be a great idea to move to Seattle for the $15 min wage. I spend $400/mo in fuel just to get to work.

That's how life is brotha. It's not so bad though places like California have better job rules and regulations and the room for advancement is better than it is in other places.
