Now they are talking real money

Now the recruiter is talking about maybe increasing my current income
by 57%, now sure if he gets it, but if he does, I think that I will
take it. We could pay off the house in 4-5 years this way. Perhaps I
could throw money at the time problem also, such as hiring someone to
do lawnmowing, food shopping etc. Also, I could replace some of my
time consuming exercise to intense exercise. They have a gym at their
place, and instead of spending 500 cals by walking 100 minutes per
day, I could spend 500 cals by being on an elliptical for 30 minutes.

From what you listed before, I still wouldn't do it.

Have you ever read The Millionaire Next Door? One of the factors they
talk about is staying married to your first wife. Divorce is a huge
financial set back. Think about it.

Well, yes I did read both millionnaire books. Great stuff.

I agree that staying married to my first wife (surely would not want
to ever remarry in any case), is important for all kinds of
reasons. At this point, I think that I will always have money to live
on, but a divorce will be a huge blow to my son. In any case, I have a
certain amount of confidence that my wife wants to stay married to me
(and I know that I want to stay married to her), even if I work 50 hour
weeks. Obviously, intentions change etc. Anyhow, the recruiter is not
calling so perhaps I asked for too much, and that is fine with me.

Before you take it, you might want to read something like _The
Not-So-Big House_, <http://www.notsobighouse.com/>, which says sensible
things about the drive for "bigger" while neglecting "better".

You'll make more money, but will you be doing better work?

One option you haven't mentioned is moving closer to work. I used to
commute 42 miles each way; now I commute less than one, and usually
walk.

It's like getting 10 extra hours of life every week, and the commute
is a pleasure instead of a chore.

There is no way I would commute a long distance again. I know how
horrible it is to move, but moving is eventually over. Commuting 10
hours a week can last for years, or decades.

Thanks, but the thought of moving terrifies me.

Okay, I've stayed out of this because I really think that this is a very
personal choice with lots of factors only Iggie can address, BUT... when we
start talking about divorce as a result of a 50 hour week, I have to step in.

My husband leaves the house at 7:45 each morning. Between work and commute, he
typically gets home sometime between 7 and 9. We accept that our workweek is
limited to work (and in my case, work and child care stuff). We have a maid
come in every couple of weeks. We have someone else do the big annual
yardwork, and bought a RoboMower to do the grass cutting a couple of times a
week.

We've chosen this life. In exchange, we have a mountain house that we get away
to on weekends. We are are travelling as we wish. with DH and I heading to
Vegas for spring break, and the whole family going on an Alaskan cruise in
July. I don't have to worry if DD wants to take up the expensive sport of ice
skating, or if DS wants to purchase hard cover books in the series he is
reading.

Because we've made this choice, we accept the downsides. A fifty-hour week is
NOT a death toll for a marriage.
