Basically my OH has taken a fairly hefy pay cut recently coupled with the levies etc....I was working out her wages today and basically she only gets around €366 a week Net for 40hours work...
IF she left work she would get around 200Eur or so social welfare I believe,so basically would only be losing around €30 eur per day of work..
Taking into account the other costs associated with being at work - travel costs etc and not to mention the fairly hefy amount of stress she has to deal with(she is a manager in retail),my advice to her was to leave her job and take some time off and relax.
We are getting married this year so she will have plenty to keep her busy and is looking at doing a course part-time to branch into a different career..Also a few of her friends are home from Aus and others dont have work at the moment so for 30eur less per day she can do as they have being doing for last couple weeks and take advantage of the nice weather
I know from a strict enconomic view point that she will be 30 Eur a day worse off but taking the other life factors into account,I genuinely belive she should take some time off!I also relaise the jobs market is tough and may not get back to work as easily in a year or so.
Any opinions?
