I'm not sure you should make that a goal. I'm not an accountant or tax expert, but I think (maybe) if you hit 86K it will put you in the higher tax bracket. And since your federal withholding is based on yearly earnings of less than 86k you may end up owing Uncle Sam instead of receiving an income tax refund.
Again, I'm no tax accountant and could be very wrong here.
Still, I would never want to work the OT hours to make this an issue (earning 88-90K). I have to do it in December and like the money but I'm dead to the world outside of work because I'm so tired. I can't imagine doing it the other 11 months of the year.
Then you have the few people (at least in my center) that hate working OT because they believe Uncle Sam takes too much in taxes on OT pay. I never understood this. Yes, it looks like OT pay is taxed at a higher rate but you still end up with more money no matter how high its taxed than if you worked a straight 8. AND, you clear more in each hour of OT than each hour of straight time, so this baffles me a bit.

Most likely, my two makers will be dead when I go. I prefer to worry about the living things and the things I do while I'm alive. When I'm done, I'll happily yield to the worms and the rolly-pollys. In my eyes, any idea of a god stops when my heart quits.

Not really.
I will be retired at 54.
Never ran a minute of my UPS career. No aches and pains.
I feel 31 not 51.

As a single guy I only care about myself and the size of my bank account

How many events have you missed for your children(if you have any) due to the fact that you where working and dont have a 9-5 job?

That wouldn't change as our job isn't a 9-5 job anyways. If you are looking to make plans during the week, get a job with defined hours, this ain't it.

I work very little overtime yet have still missed some of my kid's events. They both understood and appreciated those events that I could make.
I can recall many times (pre-GPS) taking my lunch break while watching one of their sports events.

Then why not just work part-time? Or not work at all? Then you'll have no complaints about replacing lost time.

I am the cornerstone of my institution! If I worked PT the ceiling would crumble and crosses would ignite randomly on fire.
