About to be single in Houston and looking for a place. Should I get a second job?
I'm about to be single for the first time in 14 years and haven't had to go alone in a good while. I don't make great money and want to know my fellow Houstonian's thoughts.
I bring in about 2.8-3.4k a month after taxes and insurance and such. Probably looking to move north, somewhere near Spring, to be close to my job. Quick breakdown of monthly essentials:
$400 car payment but I pay a little over and can trim that down to $328 if I have to.
$150 Auto Insurance
$50 for cell
$300-350 groceries
$80 for gas, from where I currently live.
$240 for my terrible vaping habit.
The rest would be budgeting for bills and possible rent. I don't want to have to go back to rough neighborhoods but know I can't afford the good life either. Somewhere in the middle, hopefully. Do you think I need a second job or can I do this? Thoughts/advice?
