I did it guys! After struggling from paycheck to paycheck for my entire adult life, I have landed my first “big girl job”. Most entry level jobs in my field pay $45-50k/year. I took a chance and asked for $70k in the interview because I know how urgent their staffing need is, and we met roughly in the middle of what they were offering and what I asked. It is a Monday to Friday job, 8-5, good benefits. I’m so relieved beyond words. I make barely enough to pay my bills now, so this will change my life. I plan to stay in my cheap apartment for at least another 2 years so I can pay off debt and build some savings, but it’s finally here.
