A question for all you grey beards and other more knowledgeable devs:

I work for a small grocery retail company. Work primarily as a dev, but also spend time doing I.T./HelpDesk stuff. My wife is a nursing student, and when she graduates in May 2018 she is wanting to move to a different location to work at a specific hospital, which would require me to change jobs. No problem, I'm fine with that.

Here is what I am wondering: I currently make a modest salary (for 23 years old I feel like I'm doing pretty good), but we are expecting our first child in April and I would like to be making more. Would persuing a different job for extra $$$ that I could potentially only be working at for around 8-ish months be a bad idea? Should I just stick where I am at until I actual HAVE to move?

Thanks in advance for any advice :D

    I'm 27 and my advice is yes stay where you are, your wife graduates on May and your child arrives on April, a one month difference wont harm.
    What you can do if you think your earnings will not cover your child expenses for a month (or until you guys move) try saving from now and if saving helps don't move. Else you gotta feed that tiny hungry stomach to come.

    Wish you all the best both of you :)
