So right now I'm making $25 an hour doing a very stressful job that requires me to work swing shift. I'm coming out $500 ahead after all bills are paid. Now I got offered a job (that position is hard to get into) making $19 an hour, much less work and no stress and the best part to me, it's 7-3pm, M-Friday so I get to be there for my children after school. If I take this job, I would be coming out even with what I make and what my bills are. (Keep in mind I have $6000 in my checking/savings if I need to take from it) this December, or early next year (im thinking Feb,)I'll have my school loans paid off which will give me an extra $330 a month to have around. Would you take the lower paying job and have to be "cheap" for a year? Or keep the higher paying job and save it, but deal with the stress?
