I’m currently on annual leave, had the worse year of my life, separation , empty nest syndrome , finding a new place to stay.

Dd going to uni September , adult son staying behind with his girlfriend whilst they stay with Dad in the family home , that’s ok all is good.!

Im moving out of the family home in two months work have been fantastic, but I’m not valued and the job I’m doing is not going to keep the roof over my head in the long haul.m

I have equity but I just can’t do it anymore I know my worth and knowone is listening , I’m going back to work next week , I’ve seen a job I want to do am I taking a massive risk if I go for it ?

I feel with my experience I could move on ,be paid for my experience, promised three times I would get a pay rise , just not going to happen .

I am scared as I’ve already gone through so much already , I’m just not happy .

Ive told them so many times the job I was employed to do I’m not doing so now.

I’m also being told what to do by four different people everyday , because my boss is overworked and he can’t cope with the work load

What would you do please ?

Apply for the job, if you get an interview well done, if you don’t - don’t let that stop you for applying for the next job you fancy

There’s nothing to lose by applying for a new job. I’d definitely be doing that. Not sure why you say using equity and renting though? Can you use it as a deposit to buy instead?

It’s not enough after my debts I’m leaving with my clothes and pets that’s it x I’ve secured a place for over a year and a half for renting then it will be tough, I’ve managed to secure a good price for my rent.

My wages will cover all bills , food after that , i will need to save the rest .

Thank you for replying x
