What would YOU do if this was you? Aged 49, been in same clerical job 16 years. No particular skills. There's a good payout (30k) on offer if I take voluntary redundancy. DH has IT job now but it's not secure and (he's already been made redundant 3 times). Got £90k mortgage to pay. One child aged 9. Scared I wouldn't get another job for ages (ever?), and if dh loses his job how would we pay the mortgage?
On the other hand, when else will I ever get offered £30k?
Would be so grateful for anyone else's opinions on this. It's such a big decision that's going round in circles in my head!
