Thanks for the update, Mark.
I am so glad to be retired (8 years now) - and it's been the best 8 years I've had.
Remember, benefits are VERY important - retirement funding, health insurance, etc. Those bennies can easily offset a salary increase. Our group was exceptionally aggressive about funding our retirement. Had it been up to me, I doubt I could have retired when I did.

Sounds really good! I remember getting an offer for what seemed like a good position - but after learning about the very poor benefits package - had to turn it down.
Like George, I'm happy with retirement. I pretty much took challenging positions that meant I would be working between a rock and a hard place. It made things challenging which I sought and did well with - but now I'm happy to not have to feel that pressure.

We met for dinner Wednesday. Sat at the bar at Texas Roadhouse. Had a couple of drinks and steak of course. We were there for almost 3 hours!
Base pay is the same as I am paid now but with project pay opportunities. A potential software development project is in the works that could provide significant additional income. Work from home 90%. That will be 80% initially until I get to know the processes of daily routine.
Benefits are definitely better in that they offer an IRA with 3% match and a better health plan although the amount paid by them is a little less.
This is going to happen. I just need to figure out how to leave my current employer in an amicable way. I don't want to burn any bridges.
