I got a call this morning shortly after I got into work offering me the position if I was still interested. The gross amount is less than I'm making now, but the net will be comparable.
What it boils down to is, in the long run this will be the better position for me. I will actually be able to start using the degree I earned a few years ago and the potential for advancement is far greater.
Its going to cost me in the beginning. The contract place pays every two weeks and then once it rolls over to the new place then it will be once a month. But once I get on an even keel with them, all should be good.
I'm going to avoid using the credit card as much as possible, though I may charge my bus pass initially since there's no room for it in the budget just yet since I don't know what/when I'll actually be getting paid and I'll need the pass pretty much right away.
My first day of work will be October 1! I am so excited!
Job offer received!

It's going to be tough adjusting to getting paid once a month. I had a friend who was paid like that and the poor guy really suffered but then again he wasn't as good with his money unlike many on this blog.
One thing I do remember him saying is that he had to pay more in taxes per paycheck due to getting one big paycheck instead of 2-4 per month. It's just a suggestion but you might want to decrease the amount witheld to help out with your budget.
