$5k a month is a decent raise if that's post-tax (and still a slight one if not), even more so if that's US dollars. I'm definitely taking it.

bigblu89 posted... But do you think your living situation, whatever it may be, will be the same? As far as expenses. My rent hasn't gone up once in the 6 or 7 years I've lived at my current place. My phone bill can't go up as long as I just stay on my current plan. Internet bill goes up occasionally, but by a relatively small amount. Food does get more expensive over time, but I don't see it getting bad enough to cause issues. I don't own a car, nor do I ever plan to own one. I have no kids, and that isn't going to change. I live in Canada, so medical expenses aren't an issue. ... Copied to Clipboard!

OK so say I put my current savings into a high yield account with 4% interest and put conservatively 42k a month of my 50k into that account, after 5 years I would have about 2.837 million.
If I made no other contributions I would be getting 113k a year from that balance alone. Like... yeah probably.

You could be retiring instantly with the first option. 5k per month is pretty solid for guaranteed incomeDepends on where you live. Plan to die alone or for a very mundane retirement with 5k a month.

Easily the $50K route.
The $5K per month doesnt allow a lot for saving, and if you have any medical issues later in life (or just emergency situations that require cash), you could be in a real bind. Earning $600K per year for 5 years minimum allows for a lot more security later in life, and you could even keep it going for longer if youd like. --- Live action Hungry Hungry Hippos though, now that was a sport. ~Aeon Azuran ...

On the contrary, most well paying jobs are salary jobs, and the more well paying salary jobs absolutely are jobs where the average worker can consistently make sure they only work 40 hours a week, by choice.

I live in Seoul (a pretty pricey place) and I'm making roughly 5k a month post tax, so it's very doable for me, but I couldn't imagine trying to raise a child in this economy. And yeah, I could simply just move somewhere where it's cheaper, but there's so much you have to trade off permanently for that, while with the 50k a month, any sacrifices made are temporary.

Supposedly, it was originally posed as a personality test based on what you value. If you choose option 1, you value time and freedom. The ability to live life on your own terms. You also probably value time spent with friends and family, and have a lot of hobbies. If you choose option 2, you probably live by the motto: do the hard things now for an easy live later.
