I was fortunate enough to be in a position where I could go a month without working. During this time I applied to a bunch of jobs, enjoyed the time off, and even started hitting the gym again! Since then, I managed to get a great new job which I started this week. I am very excited about this new job and what it has to offer me. I know I am going to learn a lot here. This new job is still close to home like my last one and even closer to my spouse’s job which is awesome! We can continue to work similar hours, commute together, and also take our lunch breaks together. With this new job, I managed to score a 25% raise which is higher than the raise my previous job was offering me. All in all, I feel blessed, and life is good! Thanks for reading!
