Would you take a job promotion?
Currently my day job is a great one, maybe even the best I've had. Sure I'd like to make more money but it pays well, it's flexible, not a lot of stress, I'm good at it, the commute is easy (for Los Angeles), great benefits, all good things. Best of all I have enough of a work-life balance to enjoy life, pursue real estate investing, and build an extraordinary future with my wife (real estate investing helps a lot too).
Well, I was just approached about a promotion at my day job. It would mean more hours and more stress, roughly $15-20k more a year, and a better career path. The work-life balance would not be as balanced as it is now.
What would you do?

Take the money and continue to invest in real estate.
Don't let anyone fool you, $20,000/yr is a lot of money. Anyone saying it isn't must have been born rich.
