worth it or not?

Financially, you could live in Mexico for cheaper than here and not miss the extra $500 per month you’d make if you stayed. Mentally, I can tell you I retired too early. I find a part time gig once in a while when I get bored like now when it’s winter. I don’t know you that well but I know you wouldn’t enjoy just sitting around. I certainly don’t.

I think you want to go............... So be it...................... Enjoy!

$6,700 x .65 (35% income tax rate) = $4,355
$4,355 / 52 weeks = $83.75 per week

Is not living the dream worth $84 per week?

I say go to Mexico. Those donkey shows need you, man.

Do you enjoy the job? If not, is an additional $6,700 worth it? Do you need to work? Does the job positively or negatively enhance your life?

Lots of things to consider. Unfortunately, only you know the answers.

Do you enjoy the job? Yes, make a counter offer; retire and work contract ($XXX dollars, 4 day week, 8 hr day MAX, what YOU want)
Do you NEED to work? Yes, then you cant retire, anyway. No, counter offer!
Does the job enhance your life? No, RUN!
Yes, counter offer.

We are extremely short handed, at the moment. Some people, in key jobs, retired. They were offered DOUBLE their pay, to stay for a year. It is a sellers market. Sell yourself. F-i-L went to retire, at 65. They made an offer, he loved the job. Stayed 5 more years. At 70, HAD to retire. They made offer to work a independent contractor, with considerable raise. He worked 5 more years. Finally, decided he had enough and turned down 3 offers to pay. He was ready to retire.

Are you ready to retire? Yes, RUN, the money isn't worth it.

Most Americans face this same choice. Leave while you are younger, and healthier, more able to phyicially able o do the things you want to do, or continue to work, and have more income later? Do YOUR HOMEWORK, make sure you have ACCURATE INFORMATION FROM THE SORCE, NOT RUMOR, to base your decision on, then decide! I retired at 56 years old, 6 years before I could get on Medicare, but my employier provided my family the same health insurance I had while working, at the same out of pocket cost to me for this 6 years, for me, and for 8 years for my wife! That made my choice muh easier! I have been retired 19 years now, and haven't regretted it yet!

You could take the raise, loan the raise amount to @rockchalk06 at 12.78% interest, and make a little more!

You'd be happy! Rockchalk would be happy! Your employer would be happy!

There, it's fixed!

(Good luck with whatever you decide! I semi-retired last year and now have a part-time job that gives me something to do.)

I believe that each person needs something productive to do....something worthwhile you make grow....consider that as a suggested compass
