Seeking advice on a job offer dilemma: career boost vs financial strain

I recently received a job offer for a position that would pay me around $70-80k annually, which is a significant increase of over $20k from my current salary. The role sounds fantastic, and I was really excited after the interview process, especially since the recruiter mentioned that the team thought I was the 'right' candidate. However, I find myself in a bit of a dilemma. Currently, I live with my parents and have no financial responsibilities, which allows me to enjoy around $3k+ in leisure spending each month. If I accept this new position, I would have to relocate, which would drastically reduce my disposable income to about $1,200-$1,500 due to new living expenses. While this new job could provide a significant boost to my career and enhance my resume, the financial implications make me hesitant. I'm not in a desperate situation to change jobs, and I wonder if taking this leap is worth the financial strain. I’m looking for advice from anyone who has faced a similar situation and how it turned out for them. Is this opportunity a blessing or a curse?
