    Default Please cross your fingers for us…

    My other half has been approached by a company that wants to interview him. This company is a suplyer for a major business chain. I don’t really understand this stuff, but people are jumping around and freaking out because the job will most likely pay about 4000.00 a month.

    We have 1900.00; in order to live semi comfortable in the aria where I live we would need about 2500.00.

    If he gets this job and it’s the projected amount… I wont ever need to be frugal again.

    I'm worried that its not going to happen though. I really want it to happen.

    Hoping things work out well for your family! That sounds like a great opportunity. Is it a job DH will enjoy as well?

    Well I hope your DH get's the job but just think that even with that pay and continuing to live frugally, you could save so much within a year and so on.

    I wish you both luck. Crossing fingers. However, if he gets the job I would suggest that you continue to be frugal.

    $4000 a month is not as much as people think. If he gets this job continue to be frugal.

    Sending good thoughts your way, and hoping it works out! I know what you mean about being cheap. If I won the lottery, I would still be checking prices.

    Just remember that $4,000 a month puts him into another tax bracket, so more will come out, and you may only have that $2500 a month.

    well thanks for all of the happy fingers and stuff...

    We just found out that the company that wants to hire him has a really horrible reputation. Apparently they tell you that its base but then it turns out to be commission only. So... ya...

    *frowns* Commission bad. Very bad.

    It seemed Legit. It was only because I spent 20 minutes looking the company up on different sites that we found out.

    Ah well. Life goes on. Push forward we must.
