I had a job interview several weeks ago. I had most the experience they wanted but not the letters behind my name they wanted. I knew even if they offered to me I couldn't take it. It would have been nearly 15,000 less then I could make working full time at the hospital although it would have been work from home after a few months. But they never offered me the job.
Lee and I figured out that if we could come up with $500 (ish) more a month then we could get our credit cards paid off in a year instead of 2.5 years. So today I interviewed with the BHU at the same hospital where I have done PRN for seven years. I am pretty sure I got the job and I am pretty sure I will accept. I will only work 2-3 days a month and that will be about 500-600 towards debt a month. Which will be ideal.
I am giving up my other Mental Health Job. It would be too much and I don't like working there for several different reasons. I will keep the ER job because I love it. Then in a year we will see where we are and where to go from there. Even after the credit cards are paid off we have student loans. We will pay off Lee's and then see where we are. Mine will probably end up being forgiven but I know we could have Lee's paid off easily in the next three years if....If we don't have to replace the van ( which I am pretty certain we will), if we don't have major medical bills, if inflation doesn't go crazy out of control, if Neither one of us lose our jobs. So many things but we are going to keep pushing forward and go from there.
If I had my way I would work 20-30 hours a week and get the credit cards done with in 6-9 months and then drop back down.
We could pay them off faster if we dropped everything extra. But we don't want to do that.
