My mom got fired from her job after 30 years of service (because the factory closed). She received a severance pay, paid out over 6 months, and told me she wouldn’t be looking for a new job during that time because she’d have to pay double the taxes. I was like yeah but… you’d also be earning double the money?? I would understand that she wanted to take a break for a couple of months but if taxes were the reason, that just doesn’t make sense.
