Default Re: Advice appreciated! Employment question...

I'm sorry to be a voice of dissent here. I'm all for doing what makes you happy, but I think you need more assurance from company #2 that they will either make more hours for you to work or that your per-hour salary will be higher. With your take-home pay at $2300 and your mortgage at $1200, your mortgage will be over half your take-home pay. It would be very tough to make it in that situation, I think, let alone pay off debt or start saving for the future.

If you can get a part-time job that'll make up a large part of the difference, then things change- and that might be worth considering for a short time.
