I understand....this is the internet, its my life my choices, BUT I want some outside opinions beyond the wife and I's please. So some backround:
The wife and I had a dispute about money a few weeks back(this came in after I lost my last job due to budget cuts and I stood up for some of the people being cut, and I got lynched as well after the meeting the following day) But what it came down to is selling cars doesnt pay much, you have to sell 12 cars to make a decent living of about $2500-$3000 after taxes roughly. To sell 12 cars isnt easy, and the store Im at doesnt have alot of traffic. Long story short I brought home $900 after tax last month. The fiance said shes considered leaving me because of not making much money and shes scared financially after I lost my last job mentioned above($40k a year). So I took that to heart and she said its because how would we raise a family and so on, wouldnt be easy at all. Now Im the opposite, if she was wheel chair bound, burned from head to toe, or even lost her job and couldnt ever get one, Id still love her and want to be with her, were different like that. I Think with my heart, she thinks with her head.
Well Last week I got a job offer and it was a really good offer, they were offering 36k a year guaranteed which switches to a 30% tier after 10k in gross sold(So anything after 10k I get 30% of it rather than the salary) versus the $1250 before tax guarantee I have now. Its an aftermarket manager position and well my dilema is the fact that my current boss when I went to tell him Im leaving for a new position(I've known him for 8 years[since i was 14]) and He is trying to describe every reason why I shouldnt take this job such as how hard the position is to make a living, how most stores close their aftermakret as it cost to much compared to profit, ect...& and that I should continue to sell cars for him. This guy used to be a GM of two large dealerships and was a 500k a year guy so he knows what hes talking about BUT he also knows how to "Put people together" easily and he has my trust so Im afraid hes putting me together a bit....So Im confused, I dont know if I listen to the ones trying to hire me or do I listen to the guy trying to keep me? I cant live off $900 and the inconsistent amount of car sales, but ive only been here 6 weeks which god knows isnt long enough to establish selling cars but Im afraid of going broke trying to get there and If I go broke I know I lose the fiance because you cant raise a family or anything on $900....
There is alot of info If I wrote something that doesnt quite make sense please ask and Ill clarify or add info, please I need advice......
