A
0

Job A. And supplement with another job if more money is needed. Low stress. More time off. And the ability to work from home.

Edited OP with more info.

Job A no question. Less daily stress has a culminative monetary value.

$70-$90k in passive income
How do you make this without owning a home?
Since you are already making that type of income, you just assume take the lesser paying job that has a much better work life balance.

It’d likely come out to around $2K a month after 20 years.

Military retirement and disability, which is a big reason why I don’t own a home.
Posted on 9/10/24 at 12:48 pm to cubsfan5150
When you say 'pension", do you really mean pension or a 401k?
Posted on 9/10/24 at 12:50 pm to cubsfan5150
Are you including your disability scam in that $70-$90K passive income?

Job A is a pension. Job B is a Money Purchase Plan

A choice between 4x10s or 5x8s, hour away, can telework most days, but will still require driving into the area, 4 weeks PTO, 5th week added in 10 years, some promotion potential but not great, very strong job stability, low stress, retire with a pension in 20 years
All of this ^^^^ makes this >>>> $80K worth much more money.
Posted on 9/10/24 at 1:30 pm to cubsfan5150
B. At the rate we're going 80k will barely be middle class in 5 years.

Idk, back in the day a lot of pensions were stolen because the company “went bankrupt “. Maybe they are more protected now.

hm no nearly as good as i thought it would be.
tough call boss. that passive income helps a lot. that a guaranteed for life thing?
Posted on 9/10/24 at 1:50 pm to cubsfan5150
Job A. More free time.
Posted on 9/10/24 at 1:52 pm to cubsfan5150
4X10, almost all remote with a week extra in PTO is more than worth the $35K difference in salary.
Job A and for me it’s not even close.

With all those factors combined, job A seems like the better choice

Early to mid40s in this economic environment ?!? Communicate to your spouse and kids that work will be demanding at times but that's why we get to have all the nice things that we have and B
So much of this depends on if your spouse has a career and how much she makes. If she's clearing 80k+ annually herself I'd lean towards A. But your kids are grown. I'm this age with 2 grade school kids so different perspective.

With passive income, you are comparing $160k/year to $195k/year. The extra $35k probably won’t be life changing at that income level. Not like the difference between making $40k and $75k. I would go with A unless you really, really need the money.
