An opportunity has come up at work for a promotion that would give me a 25k raise but my commute would be 30 minutes longer as it's in a satellite office. I would have to drive to work so extra wear and tear on my car plus petrol costs. Worth it?

They're big things to think about!
We don't have any answers on these kinds of specifics. For some people it'd be a no brainer, for others it'd be a hard pass.
All we'll say is this: It might be 25k now, but longer term does the promotion have room for you to step up even further?
