I agree. I quit my job in October to consult *because* I have 2 kids on the
way and needed a bigger place (moving today actually). I work less and make
more. I do some work for local companies in Orange County, CA, but mostly
for companies out-of-state and just work remotely. I communicate with my
largest clients mostly via email and IM and rarely have to travel.
So, to the comment below I'll add you don't *necessarily* even have to move.
It's the best decision I've made career-wise to-date.
I don't think it's the best for everybody, but I also don't think
"consulting sucks".

Consulting Rocks.
Yes, that's a statement but one I have to make. With a wife, 2
kids and community responsibilities, going the consulting route is the BEST
thing I have done in my career plus.
I wouldn't want people getting steered off the right track [the consulting
track].
Just like Boston has better baseball than NY, we have better software
company's too.
Ever consider moving?
Michael, best of luck.
