Hi, Dave and Jade.
How are you guys doing?
Great.
What's up?
Um, so I, my husband and I are on baby step two.
We just paid off one of our cars, well, our only car, um, with a huge $9,000 payment to eliminate that debt.
Um, it took a lot of strong arming my husband to let go of that money to pay it off, but we did.
So, um, last year we sold his car to get out of that debt and save money since he's able to walk to both his jobs.
It's worked for us for almost a year.
My husband has a full-time job for $22 an hour and part-time with $17 an hour, and I get $16 an hour for my part-time job.
We take home about $4,530 a month.
So my husband is looking for a better job that would pay him about $25 to $28 an hour.
If he gets this job, we would have to come up with at least $7,000.
quick to get a new car or a used car.
So we've been working with a car broker, auto broker, and that's like around the number that we have been looking for.
But yeah, if he gets that, then we can get down to one job and I won't be going crazy with the kids at home all day alone.
So my question is,
Is it worth it for him to go for that job that costs a little, I mean, pays him a little bit more?
Or should we just continue what we're doing?
Yeah.
