How much money (%) would it take
Mm. Tough call. I don't have any family where I am so that's less of an issue for my wife and kids. Honestly, I'd probably need at least a 20% raise to make it work for me. Otherwise, I'm giving up seniority, a good working relationship, and pretty good job security for the unknown (higher paying though it may be).
Turned down a job last year at a nearly 100% raise. So, it's not like I'd move just for the raise, either. There's a lot more to it than salary and really, money is actually somewhat far down the list. Cost of living, proximity to friends/family, weather, and church family are much more important to me.

A friend of mine just quit a job he loved to work for a bigger company and make a lot more. He lasted a week and less than a day before quitting that job. It took almost a month before he got another offer.
If you love your job and you're not hurting for money, then you should stay where you are.

I have a good thing going, I could already make 50% more if I were to move somewhere less desirable. I haven't moved. It's hard though sometimes because my wife wouldn't move unless maybe the money doubled.

There's only so much you can do with more money.
I lived in Socal most of my life. I had an opportunity to move to Vegas for double the pay, and I did. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I had no REAL friends and hated the weather there. Money can not fix some things. I say stay where you are and look for a better paying job there.
