    I've survived on less before. But hopefully the opportunity to make more comes with this new job.

    I was unemployed in 2012, I had to learn to survive making $16k that year....I reduced a lot of bills and still kept my bills low so these days I always have money in the bank and can enjoy buying things here and there. That year was definitely a struggle but hitting rock bottom and thrown into a hole you learn to crawl out and keep it that way which is why im careful with me money still, I like having a cushion.
