So yeah, I'm suggesting you stick with it. (pun not intended)
yes but do your rent and bills total somewhere around $2400 a month not counting payments on the roughly $20,000 in debt you currently have, meanwhile the other people you see doing your job are making enough to pay your rent and bills and dig out of debt.
i AM bad with money, i know this and have been trying to be better about it. and when i lived in new hampshire $46k a year was very very nice, but in moving to cambridge i literally doubled my cost of living, thinking (remember i'm bad with money) i'd be able to work it out, and since figuring i really can't while making what i'm making.
as much as i'd like to get out of this industry my best bet financially is probably to go somewhere else and get another IT job for more money (which about 5 people at my work have done in the past month and a half).
wow, this got off track from asking about being a messenger.
