Big Decision

I just got offered a position with my work in a city ways away. I'll be managing a downtown store at the same pay but I'd be saving money in the long run. I have a friend who is going to let me stay with him and split rent for $500 + utilities. Currently my rent is $1000+ but no utilities.

I am leaning toward taking it but I'm afraid of making that call. I've made so many decisions in the last three years in the name of bettering my life and each time it has left me in a worst off spot. If that happens again, I don't think I could take it. Yeah, I'd have my friend as a safety next but mentally I don't know of I can handle another failed attempt to find happiness.

It's easier to just remain where I am in the routine I have as it's familiar even if at times I struggle to stay afloat financially. But I feel so hollow in it. Plus, I just started a D&D campaign and I'm really enjoying it and the people I'm playing with.

I need to have an answer by the am. I still don't know what to do. I don't think I can just decide. I may need to flip a coin or roll a d20 or something.

Personally I'd at least ask for more money because as far as their concerned you aren't gaining anything for so why would you do it. It's them that need you.

@JovialPlutonian They won't. It's more of a sign of faith move. The chance to get my sales bonuses increase as the goals set are lower.

@bunnyXbunny I think they're just using you but I suppose it doesn't mean it wouldn't be good for you.
