Regular Income – New Job

Filed Under budget, emergency fund | 5 Comments

Yes, you read it right.  Today is my first day back at work.  This means regular income for the first time in 2 1/2 years.  I can make a regular budget and know how much money I will have.   It is not a high paying job but it will pay the bills and give us a little left over for the emergency fund.

I wish I could write some great posts on my job search but honestly, I didn’t even apply for this job.  A friend knew it was coming open and knew that I was qualified so they called me.  The employer knows me slightly and there you have it, I was employed.

In the long run it will be a good thing.  Right now it just makes life a little more complicated.  R is still pretty much house bound and even though he has gotten outside a few times this week, he can’t lift anything or do too much on the leg.  I am going to worry about him.

I am also going to have to change his appointments at the doctor’s office to pull blood twice a week to a time when I can take him.  Working around this shouldn’t be a huge big deal but something else to add into the schedule.

I am very thankful that I am going back to work in this economy though.  The job market is tough and competitive especially here where even during normal times there are not many jobs.

    Glad to hear that you’ve found work. :)
    I have college friends who graduated a year ago and are still trying to find work – it is very tough out there.

    Congratulations on the new job. A regular income is a blessing when you have gone without it for a while. It can be frustrating trying to rely on fluctuating income that changes each month.

    3 months now. How’s it going in your new job? You can tell more now I suppose.
