[Jobs]: Should I stay or should I go?

if change doesn't seem possible and you're not growing in your current position then start looking.

Change is possible. But based on results, it doesn't happen. Maybe it could happen later today, but maybe I say that for another year and still see nothing.

I think you should talk with your wife and decide what is best for you and the family. Does she have access to health insurance through her employer? If not, how much will it cost you through the ACA and how would you deal with that if you are not working.

Being professionally bored is bad, but not as bad as being harassed or some other form of maliciousness at work. So, if it's merely professional boredom, start to think about your next move more fully before bailing out, and that may help you form some cohesive thoughts about what you want to do. (I'm doing much the same at this very moment.)

I'm the sole provider for my family. If it was just me, I wouldn't be here to begin with. I took a job at another company after ~10 years of working for myself since things like healthcare have become so expensive and there's a lot more risk on my own.

Thanks all for all your feedback. It's very inline with what I've been thinking, I just wasn't sure if I was too close to the situation. I've started looking for another job, but I'm going to take my time and find something I know for sure is much better than what I've got now.
