I am in Australia. I am a single parent to two kids and I work full time. They are almost four and 14. Their dad has them some of the time but I have them the majority. I work full time for the government. I am just getting by for bills and we have a good lifestyle as in they do activities and we can do things on the weekend but we do live week to week and I’m not saving anything. I have gone for a job one level up and they are following up references so I think I may get offered it. I may have the opportunity to work four days per week. It would mean that my pay would go down slightly but we could probably still get by. If I worked the new job full time we would be a bit better off. I feel like now I have three options. Stay in the job I’m in which I can manage. Work four days and have more family time. Or work full time in the new job and maybe have more financial security. I’d love more time to help my oldest with his school work more and have more time with my little one while he transitions to school. I would like some advice about the best thing to do. I know I haven’t been offered the new job now but if they do offer it to me I won’t have long to make up my mind about hours. If I had more time I might be able to save some money with better meal planning and preparation.
