Here are my options, which would you think is the best?
1. Currently, I am working on a contract/freelance basis. I work as an architectural designer provide services to a couple of home builders and currently looking to increase my workload. I will probably make about 80k for the year of 2018. It can get stressful because money isn't always consistent. I cover my own health plan for me and my family about $500 a month. I work about 50 hours a week on and off usually 7 days a week. The best thing about this is the freedom to take a run at 2:00 in the afternoon
2. Take a full time position with one of my clients at 104k a year with no health insurance or a 401k plan. 1 week vacation and paid holidays. Their office is a 10 minute drive from my house and I would only work 8 hours a day. Possible company vehicle in 2019. I could still do contract work on the side and I would have to cover my health plan.
3. Take a more corporate job with a bigger company (same industry) with pay at 75k-80k stressful commute 1 hour each way. Good benefits health care, 401k, time off, etc. Would probably work around 45 hours a week. More stability, learn more gain experience.
How much money do you need to live comfortably right now? Do you care about money, promotions, having time off, flexibility, etc., most in a job?
