Now i know there are plenty of pepole who hate their current jobs, and i am no exception. The thing is my current employer is offering a buyout and for me that equals a cool 100,000 before taxes but i could always claim 99 on my takes and walk away witharound 94,000 in hand . My problem is the health insurance is crazy good here and that is hard to just drop when you have a familyi mean i don't have to pay for anything but $10 dr. office visits and $5 for prescriptions everything else is covered (vision,dental hospitals), but on the other hand the buyout is a get out of debut free card.See my problem.What would you do!!!! 32yrs old been at the job for 6 yrs

Depends on your personality. I'd take the $100k and get rich with that. I mean that is a phenomenal start up $ amount.

IMO it depends on how much $ you make. Meaning, if you gross 250k a year 100k doesn't justify taking the buyout. How long would it take you to save 100k?

If he is considering taking the $100k, then he must not be making anywhere near that.

i make close to 58,000 a year now that can go up with overtime , last year i made around 68,000. The problem is i work terrible hours and being on the bottom of the senority list i will be there for atleast 8 or 9 years, the job is easy to do but i have no desire to nor could i if i wanted to move up through the company. basically it's a dead end job. if i do take the money i don't want to work for someone else i want to the boss this time.

take the money. Just be smart about where/how/why you spend it.

take the cake and then take your time and look for the job you want.....

Take the money! At 58k a year it will take you 15yrs to get free of debt. make some wise investments and let your money work for you. Find something you enjoy doing and make some bill paying money and even save a bit. Then have a look at what you want to do biz wise and go for it!!
