Quit for $150k?....

[The Realist Perspective]

Take it easily. I can find another job within the next two weeks no problem. Pay off debt, give myself a month vacation, pocket the remaining 100k

 

[Barlow]

Yes. I’ll be fine while I find another job.

 

[The Plug]

I don't make that much now so yes.

$150k TAX FREE is almost like getting $225k in salary.
I'd probably do it unless I had a job that had a crazy equity piece of my compensation (I currently don't have that so I'm quitting)
I'd take the money and just begin looking for another job, if I was a rock star at the current gig you might even be able to boomerang back in a couple of months after traveling the world

That’s a down payment for a rental property and or a great nest egg to put in a savings account. I can find another job in about 2-3 months and just cap that I had a family emergency that needed my full attention when the interviewer asked me why I quit .

 

[Astroslik]

Unless you have significant stock options in your company youd be dumb af not to

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

$150K is my salary, fukkin tempting but I dont think I could get another high paying job that fast

Yes

No job you have now is secured and I wouldn't get 150k if i get laid off tomorrow

150k in cold hard cash? I could live off that for the next ten years in Goatganda

Bro you are fukkin killin me here with this

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Eh depends on the job.

Like in my field, I can easily get another job....but the working conditions from company to company can vary quite a bit along with the pay.

I'm at $122k base with another 10% for bonus. Benefits are good and cheap and the PTO is solid. Bosses are nice and coworkers are cool. In a bad situation, I'd take the money without a second thought. In my current situation, $150k wouldn't be worth it.

Yeah but then what if you can pay off the house? That by itself puts you 10 - 15 years ahead. Now you got an extra $1500/month disposable income.

Thats not talking about other uses like kids college tuition, any debt, or just investing the entire sum. Whats does $150k look like in the stock market 20 years from now?

 

[Akae Beka]

No..

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

You can get all that working retail TF? Hope ya benefits is free. and the 401k is paid even if you don't contribute

This d*ckhead said working retail.

 

[Captain Crunch]

Yes, even though I don’t have any hard skills(coding; construction, medical, etc), but $150k tax free cash would be enough to live easily 3 years stress free.

In 3 years, I strongly feel I can learn a skill to replicate the wage, or even surpass the wage I receive from my current job. Plus if I really wanted the money to stretch, I could move to Costa Rica or Turkey and make that $150k last for 4 years.

 

[In The Zone '98]

Quit your job and wait six months for a call back, brehs

 

[Art Barr]

If someone walked up to you and opened a brief case in front of you like

Spoiler

with $150k cash and said this is all yours, only thing you have to do is quit your job right now.

Would you?

Before you say "that aint enough to quit", most of you nikkas aint got $1k in savings and if u got fired you'd only get unemployement for 6 months..

Most of you, especially yall making $40k would be stupid not to do it.

Is this clean money and reported on tax. so i could go to a bank and cd this shyt up?
