Hi all!
I am happy to report that I was offered a job in WA. This is great news! We will bring in more than we are now, and will be able to rent our own place. I will be performing apartment maintenance.
In order to complete this move, however, we will have to deplete our savings account (which is currently at $1,650) to zero. Ack! I have made a budget, and it looks as though we may even be forced to use the credit card.
While this is not at ALL what I want to do, I feel that it would be stupid of us NOT to. I will be making money right off the bat, will have full benefits within three months, and will be making even more as the years go on, as I will have plenty of room and opportunity for growth and promotion.
I will be working with my wife's uncle and his friend. Her uncle has been in the industry for over 10 years, while his friend - former assistant - started where I am, and became a supervisor within three years, and is now making $22/hr and gets free rent.
The planning is going well. We need to get our dog fixed before moving, and she decided that today was a good day to go into heat. Ack! Her appointment is on the 6th, so she will still be in heat then. We may have to pay the extra $25 to have it done while she is still in heat.
Anyways, wish us luck! You should be hearing more from me, as we will have much more going on.
Moving - Job Offer!

And yes, you're right - it will be an amazing change and definitely very much needed! I plan to stick with this career - I could retire from it, especially with the employer match.
I shouldn't have to charge even half of the limit, so that should be good. I will be deferring my $51/mo tuition payment as well, so that will help.

This is most definitely a step UP. It may be pretty rough for the first month or two, but we will come out on top!
We will be in Renton. Right off 405, on Lake Washington.

Oh, and getting away from the pot, cat feces, and strange family members is a WORTHY use of the credit card.
