leaving foodlion

So... I will be leaving foodlion.

my good friend Meghan is a supervisor at Lidl grocery store and said she can help me get a job there.

pay starts at 12$ an hour.


holy crap.

there are 3 part time options.

temporary - you get 0-19 hours a week.
part time 20 - you get guaranteed 20 hours a week.
part time 30 - guaranteed 30 hours a week.


i of coarse would start out PT20 because....classes.

but even so...

lets say that taxes take.2265 out of my paycheck. ( federal income .11 + state income .04 + SS .062 + medicare .0145)

12 x 20 = 240 - a week
240 x 2 = 480 - every paycheck

480 - (480 x .2265) =
480 - 108.72 = 371.28 - per paycheck.

lets round down to 370.

x 2 a month.

$740

-200 -> car insurance
- 45 -> phone
-130 -> car payment
----------

leaves 365. (can go towards paying off the car loan and creditcard.... food.....)

still not enough to move out....

until i move up to 30 hours a week after i graduate.



if i get a job a lidl and work there at starting pay once i graduate?
prolly wouldn't be able to get a full time thing, but i would upgrade to the 30 hrs.

12 x 30 = 360
360 x 2 = 720

720 - (720 x .2265) =
720 - 163.08 = 556.92 round that to 550 per paycheck.

550 x 2 = 1,100 per month

1100
- 200
-45
-130
--------
725
- 500 (rent)
 (http://www.apartmentguide.com/apartments/North-Carolina/Greenville/1-beds-pet-friendly-1z141xt+4lh/?max_price=500)
------
225 - to be devided between utilities, gas, food/cat needs, and anything else. (eastbrook has water and sewer included i think - allows 2 cats)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

now hopefully my car insurance will have gone down by then.  and gone from 200 to maybe 120? or something. that would be even better. if i can pay off most of my car loan then it wouldn't be a problem for too long.
