I know it's a Saturday and things are slow around here, but this is something I'm thinking about because I'm a super planner aheader in things.
Assuming I get hired to teach (inservice starts July 21, and I just had my 4th interview-maybe I'll get something), I'm looking at having my current earnings almost double. Adding in the hotel ($450 a month) and Sylvan (~300), I'll finally feel like I'm making a decent living.
That said, I'm tired of working three jobs, seven days a week. I'm ready to have a consistent two days off. This would mean quitting the hotel job, so that I can do this. I'd lose $450 a month, plus bonuses, which usually equal $60-$100, depending on how many days we sell out. I'm still undecided about Sylvan. I like working there, a lot, but it means not getting home til almost 7, but I did just start there, so I'm really wary of quitting.
However. I have CC debt, student loans, and no savings to speak of. I'm really trying to decide whether I want to quit my hotel job and Sylvan job, keep the Sylvan job, or keep them both. If I keep them both, hotel checks will go towards CC debt (that's really bad), Sylvan checks will go towards either student loan debt, and I'll use my teaching check (which is going to be almost double what I'm making now, so there will be leftovers) for other bills and add some into savings. Applying the money that way, I'd only be paying a little extra on student loans, would have my CC debt paid off in a year and a half, and I have no idea what I'd be able to add til savings til I see the exact amount I'll be making.
What would you do in my situation? Is there a solution/option I'm missing?
