My job?
Hi everyone! I am 19 years old and need some insight on what i should do about my job that i am currently struggling with. I work in a preschool where they pay me 1000 dollars a month. I know all of the teachers, me and my boss are on good terms, and i have been working there for three months so far, so im familiar to this place. I honestly didnt feel like i was personally getting paid enough, however, i was desperate for a job because where i live it is very difficult to find a job that is willing to pay that much. The thing is, i live pretty far away from this school, and most of my salary goes on transporation. So basically, instead of getting paid 1000 a month, i get paid 600-700. This has been something ive been struggling for quite a while but then I figured that i would mark my territory in this school and that i would be there for a while, and then suddenly, out of the blue, I got a job offer in a school that was willing to pay me 1,500 instead, and it is literally about 2 blocks away from where i live. I honestly dont think i should reject it seeing how I would be getting paid better and have more energy to work because it would be right next to my house. That way i will be able to walk it instead of spending my salary on transportation. Obviously, all fingers point to taking the job. however, i am afraid that if i quit my current job to start a new one, a billion things will happen and ill eventually lose it and end up with nothing. The reason is because I am such a pessimist. When my boss found out about this, she told me she would give me 1300 instead and insisted that i stayed because I know them so well and because the kids are used to me. She also provided me with Bus transporation, but STILL i am not getting paid as much as the new job has to offer. Esepcially because it is so close to my house. Right now I am having a very difficult time deciding what to do. I know these people i work with very well, i am comofortable with the system , but i dont want to be the kind of person that gets too comfortable in a place and ends up going nowhere with her life. I am trying to convince myself that i have to get out there and grab other opporunities that come to me because thats the only way ill ever get anywhere in life but im scared, im terrified of taking a risk. Im terrified of taking a leap of faith and I dont know what to do. Can anyone give me advice about this? has anyone been through choosing an ultimatum before? what did you do and how did you deal with it? All answers are appreciated and thank you for taking the time to read this.

When you are supporting your self, you have to make good solid decisions where the choices are the best for your budget. Winter is almost upon us and in some area, already there. If there was an extended stay of snowy ground, you don't have to worry to to get home with the new offer and you may not make it home at all or find it difficult to make it to work. Unless own a brand new car, once cars are 10 years old or so, parts wear out one by one and you could be putting in alot to keep the car running. My worst year in car care was $4,000. which my mechanic who knew me, gave a cut rate. I could easily have paid out $7,000. in the year. the two following years had at least 2 grand each in repairs. You don't want to be driving a car that is not safe to drive. Gas is another cost. More money, less out pay, means you can even save some money and get ahead, rather than barely make ends meet. You always want to shoot for having that buffer of earnings that are free and clear and don't need to cover any bills so you can have money set aside for savings and/or an emergency.
