LOVE MAKES YOU DO CRAZY THINGS RIGHT?

I have an option between staying where I am work wise...which is already familiar to me and super close to home, (I share a vehicle with my boyfriend as we don't have money for two), but also a job which pays very little and I have no career advancement at; or moving to a property which would pay more, and would hold far more opportunities and appreciation for me, but it would be an HR commute every day and I don't see that as possible right now. Any ideas from people who have had to weigh these pros and cons before?
