Default Re: New Job Pay Cut - Help!

But to be paid 3k less (£200 a month less in real terms after tax) is a bit of a kick in the balls considering it's doing the same job as I do now.

I've got till tomorrow lunch to make a decision and still don't know what to do!
HELP!!!
Unless its £200 cheaper to live there then dont do it.

I also imagine that living with your dad is going to be cheaper than with the g/f, look at exactly what you are paying now and what your dad is paying out and thats a better idea of the costs per month. (At least when I lived with my folks I paid what seemed a lot, but was actually very little)
