So DH has an brand new job! After three years of district bulls*** DH is now working for an online charter school. And instead of driving 45-90 minutes a day, DH will work only 20-30 minutes away. Did I mention the school is online which goes perfectly with DH's Education Technology Masters!!
He will be taking a $3000 paycut, but between the decreased gas (about $200/month), no union dues, lower car insurance, and his overall mental health gain I think we come out ahead! **Employment Dance** Plus I always under-budgeted our income so I could trick us into putting more into savings. So here is the new budget:
Total: $4650
Savings: $1627.50
Billed Needs: $1900.44
Discretionary Needs: $424.56
Billed Wants: $145.29
Discretionary Wants: $552.21
This pushes back our savings goals slightly, but not too much. We also will be putting less away for retirement, but DH will still be contributing to the pension.
