Very brave FFB, I'll follow suit. 1st job - $57,330 + free health insurance + 17% company match + tuition reimbursement $15,000 So approximately $57,330+$3,500+$9,746+$15,000 = $80,576 total compensation 2nd job - $18,200 + 20% match on what I put in (I put in 15%) + $4,000 tuition reimbursement So approximately $18,200 + $546 + 4,000 = $22,746 So salary = $75,530 Total compensation = $103,322 Work 40 hours a week job #1 and 15 a week job # 2 I always find it interesting those that may make $100k but have to work 70+ hours to do so.
absolutely this. there's no way I would ever share such private data... I will share that my insurance benefits cost me absolutely nothing this year and I have been taking advantage of every teeth cleaning, regular checkup, flu shot, and eye examination I can schedule. got a nice pair of glasses out of it too...
i feel ya man; i'm grinding it out at the university. fixin to pave my way to da top! lookin to get a few commas on that paycheck
Hear, hear, brave comrade. I consider you my political brother-in-arms. (That is, of course, if we were willing to raise our arms, or carry anything, which we're totally not. Stuff it, IRS!) Ronny, Moes is ahead of the curve on this one. He's "Gone Galt: Everybody's Doing It." It's an accepted form of political protest. Thoreau spent one night in jail; the least the rest of us can do is quit our jobs and live off the bounty of the land/government teat. Everybody's doing it. (Of course, if Going Galt means you have lots and lots of free time in which you're forced to start reading Ayn Rand, allow me to grab that hastily-typed resignation letter off the boss' desk real quick.)
No kidding, and I noticed Ronny neglected to post his own income. I've given hints around here in the past. We're very comfortable. More comfortable before sending our oldest 1900 miles away to attend university at the only one not offering him a scholarship. Guess we're pushovers. That's all anyone is going to get.
It's pretty impressive that a 15 hour a week job provides you with benefits and a tuition reimbursement. Of course that could be the norm, I'm just not well versed in jobs with that pay range. I agree with the bolded. Investment bankers are the biggest suckers. Fighting the system is the equivalent of waving a white flag: "I'm not smart enough to find my niche in society, so I'm going to dabble in pointless activities like bumper stickers, protests, complacency, and internet bragging contests." Even the pioneers and extremely talented have to conform to live comfortably. (I know your post was written in jest)
