Is Money More Important
Posted by imaginebliss on December 6, 2008
I don’t have enough money to live on my own anymore. My new receptionist job pays $600/month, and my parents would like me to move home when my lease is up here in March. I miss home, and my parents, but it would just be too hard to move home after being on my own for 2 1/2 years. Plus, I would have a hard time commuting to work (over an hour away with traffic) for such low income. My boss said she doesn’t know if they will ever have the availability to train me for assistance, and can’t guarantee when or if I’ll ever get more hours.
With Dave’s income, we just might be able to support ourselves if we got married in March. Barely. Here’s the thing though. C&B Renovations just offered me $4,000 a month to hire on full time. I was talking to my manager today about it and she said “well I wouldn’t even hesitate, if I were you I would have taken the job immediately and quit here.” But I wanted this job so badly! She told me we were on good terms if I decided to leave and if, for any reason, I needed to come back, either as reception or assistance, they would hire me on.
I just don’t know what to do. I think either way Dave and I would like to get married so we can move into a new apartment together, but that’s so close. It doesn’t give us much time to plan a wedding. It would have to be small.
