Well, my company is offering severance pay for those who want to quit. Its a Forbes 100 company..
I will recive 15 months of pay, but taxes will bring that down to 55-60%. So, say 8-9 months.
Based on excange rates etc etc, I have:
$210.000 in 80/20 index fund / bonds
$25.000 in liquid assets ( bank )
$60.000 in buy out and monthly salary until August, when my contract would end.
Montly expenditures
$1500 ( housing is very expensive ). Would live in a cottage if I could persuade my partner to do so ;)
No formal education, 33 years old, 60% finished Bachlor in Economics. Dont like or love the work I do now, but it paid OK.
Current work, manaul labour.
$60-80.000 a year, fluctuates due to paid overtime.
My thinking was:
The buy-out money, could "support" me for three years, until I either got a new job, started building/selling items, or finished my Bachelor.
How long could I live of the money I have and recive?
Lots of ideas running through my head now.. only have 4 more days to decide on.
