Another guy with a new job

[Craig 94 TA GT]

Hey guys, I just got official word that I got a new job. 3x more pay than my previous, and 100% all benefits paid. I've been looking for a job like this for 3 years and finally got it...my prayers have been answered. I'm starting next Monday.
So now it's time to save up for a house or mod the T/A. Probably the house should come first, but when a small 2 bdr/2 bath around here costs $600k, it's gonna be tough.

Congrats, Man. Just be sure, above all else, you're happy there. That's what really counts.

Good luck.

Good luck with the new job Craig, & I hope it all goes well for you.

Congrats man.... I hope it works out well.

[Joe K. 99 Zeee!!]

Awesome!

Housing prices are insane here too. There's always townhouses, maybe. Or even a condo. At least the value will go up and your payments will remain the same.

Hey, congrats man . Drinks are on you, right? lol

Sweet Craig! Hope it all works out buddy.

[Craig 94 TA GT]

Thanks guys!

Yea, housing prices are insane here. Nice condos are in the 500s, some with no garages...maybe a tiny one if I'm lucky. A garage, of course, is a must for us who can't keep our cars stock

3x the Salary, I'll drink to that!!

Congratulations!

Congrats man!

I wish you all the best in your T/A mods and your house search!

Thanks again guys. I know that 3x pay is awfully strange, but the previous job was a non-full time independent contractor position with no benefits and I had to put 15.3% (rather than normal 7.65%) for FICA. And the new one pays more hourly, is full time, 100% benefits paid and 5% 401k matching. I can't believe how much benefits really add up. I paid about $3k in mediocre HMO health insurance alone last year. Now I get free PPO with 0 deductible
