I get my first paycheck after 3 weeks with my new job tonight at midnight. Since I'm going from ~$20/mo in income (and only made $10k/yr before that) to $4,400/mo (net) in income, we're finally paying off a loving payday loan from January. We've been paying $100 every 2 weeks since then, for a total of $1,000 in interest on a $750 principal because our truck broke down at the wrong time. A new battery and alternator---which happened to both go out at the same loving time, just when I lost my $10k job with no unemployment, because I was a contractor---cost us >= $1,750.00. gently caress me that's 1/10th of our old yearly income. Anyway I'm really glad we're finally paying it off, it's a huge financial burden to be getting rid of. From $0.61 in our bank account to $2,900 in our bank account overnight! (Wife's getting paid tomorrow, too). We can finally catch up on bills while still having a little left over for groceries, and gas, for once. e: grammar Knyteguy fucked around with this message at 04:46 on Jun 7, 2013 |

Cicero posted:Wife got into grad school so I had to get a new job in that area. Just accepted an offer to work at Google for more money; it's in a more expensive area, but should still effectively make slightly more than right now, and having Google on my resume will be great for my career. Hey congrats man I hope you were able to negotiate between them and the company you were working for!
