I was offered a really good position with the BC government in Vancouver. Normally i would have accepted, but i crunched some numbers and realized i wouldn't be able to afford living there. Different scenarios led me to losing money or breaking even. And I'm not looking at anything luxurious, just the cheapest 1 bed appartment in the area and being able to keep my car. I'm not interested in roomates at my age and i wouldn't be able to work a second job.<\/p>\n
I'm going to turn it down because this doesn't seem like a good idea financially. Anyone encountered this recently? How did you deal with it? I worked so hard my entire life and feel like you can't even work for the government anymore if you don't have intergenerational wealth. (end of rant)<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
