I'm a junior in college and after working an at-home make your own hours kind of job for two years, I'm being laid in a week. Luckily, I start a new job in a Verizon store on Tuesday. It's supposed to be full time and it's the only job I could find that had the potential for extra money from sales. Everything else I found was part time and minimum wage.

I'm thinking about taking a semester off to get settled into my new job and to save up money. The reason being that right now a relative pays my rent, but I think he wants to stop in December/March and I don't want to ask him for more money, because he's already loaned me a lot so I could continue going to college. I also can't live on campus.

Without that money though I would need to save up an extra $800 a month to pay it myself on top of about $900 worth of other bills I have. I also can't really find a cheaper place since that's a good deal in my area.

Anyways, that amount is doable by myself, but only if I'm working full time, which makes me think maybe I should take a semester off to figure out if I can even make it work myself and if not figure out what my other options are for living more cheaply.


What do you think? (link)
It's quite a complicated question but first of all, don't get upset and believe that everything is going to be okay. If I was in your position, I'd not take a semester off. Why don't you try to find online work? For example, you can provide live paper help or work with a support team. You will be working and studying at the same time and won't be afraid of being out of money.
