i need help!

i got this new job offer. i told the boss i'm going to have a really hard time turning it down. i knew he'd counter me, but, i really have no clue which direction to go. he pretty much said "name it" and i said that i'd be too selfish of me to ask too much for the same thing. so i need help of what to ask for.

here's the guidelines:

What AIM Security offers:
a) benefits - health insurance. i have none. i need some.
b) $12-13k a year pay raise, with a scheduled intention of approx $25k extra - all from what i make now.

What PC AfterDark offers:
a) stability - very much so.
b) name what i want
c) authority

now, what to ask for.

i told the boss that i have no ties to the company physically, legally, or investmently, but that i feel a certain allegiance to it for helping shape it into what it is now. i'd like to see it continue to grow, and i don't see us doing that. he said we were, and by quite a bit. i said if we went a different direction to grow then i'd feel more of a calling to stay.

now - what is it i'm striving for?

money? yes.
benefits? yes
position? sorta.
a bigger impact on being worthful? i believe this is more than anything.

(more to come - on phone...)
