Want to back out of my new position

Thinking of sending an email to the big boss of the company so I have something in writing. If she verifies what the coordinator told me, then I think I’m going to back out of the position. I refuse to lose my job just because I’m poor.

EDIT: I am in California for those wanting to know. The job is a W2 job. I work 4 jobs total (assisted living, physical therapy, Uber eats, and Instacart.)
