In my opinion, its the best move Kevin could make if the job isn't a good fit for him. Obviously there are drawbacks, but Kevin may want to consider something with a lower starting comp, but with a greater fit for his lifestyle. Is it difficult to do? YES. Impossible to do? NO.
I just attended a great leadership workshop where the presenter emphasized "getting out of your comfort zone" in order to realize your maximum potential. In other words, don't look for excuses not to do something, find a way to make the changes you need. Don't let age,routine, or the old "I've always done it this way" mentality stand in your way.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
