    legitimately, a lot of folk out here think you will lose money (not benefits i know how that cookie crumbles) if they take a raise. because their tax bracket would change. so they turn them down and the people owning their companies cackle. critical thinking is not where they spent their focus.

      If it only barely bumps you to the next bracket, it’s not worth it. I had more time and money by cutting to a 30 hour week and not paying daycare, sick care, before school care. I moved to a lower tax bracket and pocketed an extra $20/week.
