Is this shutdown actually worth it?
Know what your life costs. Know what the job is worth. Decide what comes after.
Use a whole-job test.
- Run the actual pay rules. Include regular time, overtime, double time and premium days.
- Add LOA/sub carefully. Do not automatically treat it as profit.
- Subtract the costs created by the job.
- Measure time. Count total workdays, days off and calendar weeks committed.
- Give the money a job. Debt, runway, a major goal, investing, family or intentionally flexible cash.
