35 year old guy here, going through a rough patch in my life, got divorced a year ago and my wife took everything from me. I have a full time job (been here for 11 years) where I’m making $24/hr and have topped my position with no more room to grow. I’m working 60-70 hours a week, I have no social life and dread going to work every day. We get raises every 15 months ($0.75-$1.00) and a bonus every year of ($1000). I pay $1900+ a month for a small 1 br apartment plus $1000+ for other bills (car insurance, gas, gym membership, food, etc). My car is paid off and I have a little over $4000 in debt.
My brother lives one state over and has offered me to move in with him for a year(no rent) and I’ve been offered a job in the same field but with a different company. They offered me $22/hr+ scale pay and a benefits package plus room to grow, a M-Fri type deal working 45 hours a week. I’m wanting a change in scenery and to be closer to family. I also plan on purchasing a car and trading in my 10 year old car with its numerous problems. I planned on purchasing a new to me car (not brand new but perhaps a 2016/2017 and nothing outrageously priced).
My family and friends think I should make the move, are they right?
