My wife was shopping and ran into a business owner that was a customer of ours when we had our business. (The business blew away in hurricane Michael, on Oct 10th 2018, so we retired.)
The customer pleaded with my wife to come work for them, as they need someone very badly. They know she is a very hard worker.
She said, well, I'll need to discuss it with my husband, she really didn't need to, if she really wanted to work she would have made her own decision. So she mentioned it and I said well you could make $6,000 and put in an IRA, and we wouldn't have to pay any taxes on it. I also said, "but why" we have more money then we are comfortable spending, after 37 years of living frugally, we just don't know a life style to spend more.
She wants to help them, but is afraid if she starts working for them, they will back off on trying to find a permanent employee, and then when she decides to go see the kids or we make some other outing, it will be a problem.
Anyway, just a bit of a fun problem to have.
