Can I get some opinions....
I currently work at a job that is a 3 hour a day commute, in a dirty warehouse that is physically demanding on my body with a team that isn't what it use to be, free parking, making $49K a year. Prominent company that *might* move closer to my house, cutting about 40 minutes off my commute.
I interviewed at a new place that is $30K a year, 40 minutes a day commute, non-physical in a clean office setting, working from home every Friday, paid parking, small start-up company with room for advancement.***
Money is tight, but we're making it work. I feel like if I take this new job, it'll be a big lifestyle change, but is it worth the pay cut? I know everything in life isn't about money, but we're just getting by, this might make things a bit more difficult. Yet on the flip side, I won't be spending as much money on the car maintenance and gas. The wear and tear on the car and my mind will be virtually zero now.
***They also play a lot of Mario Kart on their downtime. But don't let that factor in.

Your time is worth something. Plus, if you think that you'll be happier at the new job, then maybe you should strongly consider it.
However, keep in mind that it's a "small start-up company", so it has no track record for success. Do you have a fall-back plan if the small company fails?
Basically, it sounds like you'll be happier if you take the new job, so you have to figure out if you can afford to take that size pay cut, and if you think the job is secure for the long-term.

Do the math, figure out over a period of x number of years at your current job how many extra miles you'll drive and how often you'll have to replace the car, buy tires, oil changes, gas, and mechanical repairs. When you factor those cost, compared to a close by job, the difference in pay cut might not be as great as difference as it initially seems.

@TheUsualSuspect I agree with pretty much everything CR and gbg have said.
Take a look at the numbers, see if you can really take the pay cut and estimate how much wiggle room you'll have if things change. This change will bring a lot more time with your family/for yourself and the easier days you have will make a big difference on pretty much everything, too.
I'm someone who needs security, but I'm also someone who values their free time a hell of a lot more than any employer ever will and the commute you're talking about alone would be enough for me to seriously consider any move.

All in all, a job being less physically demanding and MUCH closer by is always worth a significant pay cut, in my opinion. It also seems like you'd be happier with your new job. From the information I have now, I'd go for the new adventure!

Tomorrow at 4pm EST, 10pm GMT+1 I'll be joined by one of our younger members @Violetlvr, and most probably the spirit of Jason Voorhees. That's about all I can predict, so be sure to tune in and find out.
As usual, the lines will be open as soon as we settle in, the number is still 0-800-CATCHAT, and we'll still be trying to guess what our guest is wearing.
