It seems to me that you already know in your gut that you don't want to do this. Ultimately, let your gut decide and not your checkbook or visions of zero balances on all the credit cards or [insert short-term financial goal here].
So: Take the interview. Talk to jinx. Think it over. Make the call.
If nothing else, there might be room for your current employer to sweeten your current deal.
My experience with high-paying positions is that they want too much in return. Don't undervalue what you have to give up to get it. Insert Bruce's post here. Money ain't everything. Then again, if its easy then take it.
Last thought. What would your kids tell you to do? Once you make the decision, will you look forward to telling them or be anxious about telling them?
