So...the hubs may have a new job soon.
Fingers crossed that he get's it. He's already had a couple of interveiw's and they both look promising. Promising to the point where they gave him a tour, talked to him about orders, how he would cook certain things and what side items he'd put with it, and 401k's. Soooo, it really looks promising.
I've gotten my hope's extremly high with other job opprotunity's that he's had in the past and those have all fallen through. It seems like mine are high yet again, but I'm trying to keep them down to a minimum.
Used to, I'd tell him that I thought it would be nice if he could have a better job so he wouldn't have to worry all the time about money and everything else. Now that we are getting married and starting a life together, it's more like I NEED him to have a better paying job to help bring in more money....he needs a STEADY paycheck.
Right now, I have the steady paycheck. I can come home with 600-800 every 2 weeks. The majority of the bills come out of my pay. It's good for now, but we could use the money to put away for a down payment for a house.
If and when he get's the new job, half of my money will be put away in savings to use as a down payment of a house. I get payed every 2 weeks, where he will get payed monthly. I'm bi-weekly and he will be salary. That's how our checks will be like...one check every 2 weeks and the other check once a month.
Seeing as how the apartment is in BOTH names, he and I will split that up somehow. The water comes in his name (not sure why), so we will take turns paying that. The power bill is in my name, so I can pay for that. Internet is in his name, so he pays for that. Charter cable is included in our monthly rent.
Right now, he adds his half of the rent to my account and then rent comes completly out of my account. His half goes in BEFORE I write a check for the rent. That way, there's still more than enough money in there.
But our plan, for now, is working out ok. We have been able to stay afloat pretty good.
