Current situation: I live with my parents, don’t pay rent. I pay $700 in student loans. Work three jobs and only make about $1400 a month, if that.
New situation: I recently got a job across the country. A job in my field and everything I have been searching for. The salary is very low though, only 30K. But I took it because the title would help jumpstart my career.
But I am so worried I won’t be able to live. I was able to lower my student loan payments to about $300-350 a month. My rent around $1000, but that’s including internet and utilities and all that stuff.
I’m just feel super depressed that I will be living off of nothing.
I do have good practices already though. I always prep my meals every week, always take leftovers to work. I don’t eat fast food and I only eat out about once a week, if that. I cancelled my gym membership and I don’t use cable.
My parents pay my phone bill still and my insurance. I don’t have a car payment. The only thing I really pay for is my dog at the moment.
I need someone to tell me this will work out because I’m in complete panic mode. I can’t sleep and this is all I think about every waking moment.
