Changing Jobs

I don't think that I will change jobs for a while yet. I keep thinking that maybe I should, that maybe I've spent too long doing the same thing in the same team with the same people. Then I have days where things aren't so bad, things are actually pretty good. Recently I've been thinking about the places I used to work and how much easier things would be for me if I went back to any of them now. Unfortunately, I don't think that I would be able to earn anywhere near as much money as I do now doing any of my previous jobs. 
The closest salary would be if I went back and worked for a retail company. When I worked there I was an assistant store manager and was trying to become a store manager. At the time, I was recently married and we didn't have any kids yet. I was given the opportunity to become the store manager at the shop in Orange, which is in country NSW. Orange is a great town and at the time I was spending one out of every three or four weeks in Orange, looking after the store. The company paid for me to take my wife to Orange for a night so she could see the town and see if she would be happy moving there. At the time, my wife thought it was too far away from her family and she wanted to be closer to them for when we had kids.
I think at the time they were offering to pay me something like $60,000 + car + bonuses, which would have ended up being somewhere around $80-$90K if the store did well. We would have been living in an area where the cost of living was pretty low, so we would have been fairly well off. If we had gone ahead with it then things would certainly be a lot different than they are today, not necessarily for the better, just different.
Staying where I am for the next two years and also lowering my care factor a little is what I need to do to make things better for me in the long run. As I've mentioned before, I have a large body of work that I've been working on for several years and I'm nearing the completion of it. Once that is done then I can probably sit back and take it easy for a while. There hopefully won't be too many more posts about changing jobs.
