I recently started a job as a maintenance man at an office complex, which pays $26 an hour and comes with benefits, 401k, and PTO. However, life has thrown some challenges my way. I just went through a divorce and moved to a piece of land I bought, where I'm converting a shed into a tiny home. Unfortunately, I got into an accident where a truck forced me off the road, totaling my car. My credit isn't great, which complicates things further. I'm planning to get a beater car this weekend after payday, but it's a 39-mile commute each way. Right now, I'm stuck in the office, hiding in an empty suite because I can't afford the $40 Uber each way. I'm really torn about whether to stick it out for this job or look for something closer. I'm 55 years old and lying on the floor here, contemplating my next move. Payday is just three days away.
