First off sorry for the long drawn out post. Second if you don't have solid adive or experience with this matter please don't post anything.
So as the tittle says I have decided leave my job and go back to school. I finally found a degree program that makes me want to be in school again. The wife and I have talked in depth about it and took a very in depth look at our finances. Currently her income would be about $500 short of covering all our bills. Not that big of deal I thought initially.
Now I'm trying to figure out how to come up with that money plus a little more while taking 9 or more credits. My wife and I have a substantial savings that we could live off of for a while if needed but we have both worked hard to put that money in the bank and I'd rather not use it unless there is simply no other choice.
We have talked about me staying at my current job and going to school but that simply will not work after my conversation with my boss yesterday. My job is only willing to work with me so much and I'm kind of pushing the limits already since I'll be starting this semester and will be leaving work early Monday and Wednesday for school. To a point I understand.
So that leaves me where I'm at right now, trying to figure out how to make ends meet down the road. I know a lot of people do this but how did you go about making ends meet? What jobs did you find?
Thanks in advance for the advice.
