I was talking to one of my manager's at work. He's an assistant store manager but will be a store manager very soon. He's going for his interview sometime this week for a store that has an opening. So talking to him about it... he said I really should apply for his position because the pay rate just increased by a substantial amount. When he told me the yearly rate my jaw almost dropped. It's not like in the 100 k's ... lets just say it's a weeee bit more than half that So yeah.. I'm stoked. I'm definitely applying for an Asst. Store Mgr's position soon! I'm a receiving manager right now - Been there about a year and was a department manager for a few years prior to that. Time for change!!!

With all that being said... I can definitely live MORE comfortably on that salary and this will put me MORE within reach of my goal of buying/owning my OWN HOME!!!

2013 HAS to be the year for me... gotta make things happen... I want to have a place I can truly call MY HOME.. as well as for my SON!!!!

Wish me luck!!!
