An $80,000 salary is approximately $1191 a week after tax. VS A $90,000 salary is approximately $1321 a week after tax. (Salaries after tax)

That’s a difference of around $100 a week.

Before you walk away from a job because “it’s not enough money,” ask yourself:

Is an extra $100 worth:
2 hours of commuting every day?
Fuel, parking & tolls?
A toxic culture?
No flexibility?

That $100 disappears the second you start spending more to survive a worse job.

I think too many people look at salary numbers like it's a scoreboard and they don't really consider them in practical terms. If you can live on a lower salary, and your life will actually be less stressful, that's the better offer. Accepting a higher offer that comes with a lot of unwanted baggage, just because the gross number sounds good, is a colossal mistake, yet a lot of people make it.

I personally think my time worthes more than money if I can manage to invest my time on something else or my family or my health why now. I personally wouldn't want to travel at all.

Believe it or not, I made it 9 MONTHS commuting 120 MILES one way to work a home care job that I covered all of metro Detroit AND Ann Arbor/ Ypsilanti to make a living. My intention was to relocate, but housing was IMPOSSIBLE to find! The major highways to get me where I needed to go and home? ALL under construction. Sometimes my days would last 16-18 hours with all the commuting.NEVER AGAIN.

Wow! Thats crazy!

And always think about the tax bracket you would be in if getting more money.
