Anything worth doing is worth overdoing
Hey guys,
So some of you know I recently retired from the military after 23 years. During my time in, my family had to deal with me working long hours and being gone on deployments...missing birthdays, anniversaries, holidays...
The one thing I really wanted post-military, was for them to be able to have me around all the time.
Well, now I've been presented with an opportunity to make some really good money, but the kicker is, it requires me to deploy once again for 4 months at a time...4 months gone, 4 months home.
Pros:
The possibility of bringing in $120-180 a year.
Live wherever I want (no need to relocate).
The 4 months off are MINE...no need to go to work or anything.
Cons:
There's only one really...being deployed for 4 months at a time.
So, do I take a job locally making less, but I'm home everyday? Or do I suck it up and do this job for a few years and build up a nice nestegg for my family and then find something local?
This is the dilemma I'm struggling with. Any advice from my brothers out there?
