mellowtiggerI'm relieved that I get to stay in my house and tend to my wonderful garden a while longer. :) I just verbally accepted a position for Tier 1 tech support at Pennsylvania State University. I will start in 2 weeks. My work schedule will be a new one for me: Saturday-Wednesday, 7am-4pm Central timezone.
I'll take a bit of a pay cut from what I had before, even working full-time hours. I can afford it now, though, since I no longer have a mortgage to pay off. As soon as I start depositing paychecks, I'll see about discontinuing my car insurance payments. I've kept those payments current until now, in case I needed to drive a vehicle as part of a relocation this summer. As soon as I applied, I immediately checked into the process of paying income taxes in two states. It's relatively simple. I'll pay the Penn taxes (3.07%) first, then the remainder of the (higher) Minn taxes (5.35 - 6.80%). In effect, I'll still pay only 100% Minnesota income tax, but much of that money will go to Pennsylvania first.
I'm happy to not be draining my meager savings any longer. :) And I'll have some new health insurance too, so I can stop relying on Minnesota taxpayers for my current coverage.
I'm very happy that with this 100% remote job I will get to maintain my COVID-safe lifestyle a while longer. :)
