I had to accept a position making 1⁄2 what I made before. Interestingly so, all of my needs are met and I have more than I need or want even.
I also went back to school
I had more than I need or want back when I was making $32000 a year for the State or about $26000 a year when working at Price Chopper. I don't think I could live on half that. I know I couldn't...I only made about $12,000 a year working at Market Strategies and that's where my financial troubles began...And if I worked at half that I definitely couldn't live on $6,000 a year.
And yeah Jimbone makes a good point...except I can't even seem to get hired for the shitty $8 or less jobs...I'd gladly take it if offered...but yes I would rather hold out and go after a better paying job if possible...looks like it might be back to school for me as well...fuck me...while trying to avoid incurring more student loan debt, I caused my mom to incur even more debt helping me out...to the point of her declaring bankruptcy.
