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.

@Carla That's my thought process. The store needs help with staff coaching and admin organization. Both of these are what I excel at which is why they want me.

In addition, the friend I am going to stay with works for the government and is trying to get me a job there. Living there already would help with that.

Yes,@bunnyXbunny,seize opportunities when they arise. Show off what you got.
Besides, change is an adventure. We need as many of those as we can grab.
