You must have skipped my original post in which I said I was a teacher. Every summer I worked a second job. Early June through late August. Three months or a quarter of the year. A lot of the teachers did this. They painted houses, etc. Some for cash jobs, some W2 employees.
$86k/2080= $41.35 an hour.
$41.33 an hour is equivalent to roughly $27 an hour cash with a 35% reduction for all taxes.
So you are telling me it is impossible to find a $27 an hour cash job? Okay, so maybe they find a $20 an hour cash job and bring home an extra $9,600 for 12 weeks of work. That is a total of $65K + 9,600 = $75,000 a year + benefits and a pension. Lets factor all those in for a true salary.
Don’t give me sob stories that they underpaid. They are overpaid, under educated in soft degrees and have far too much security with little requirement to perform at a specified level.
