<prompt> Human: Im one month into a new job. My new job pays about 5 more an hour. However, I worked overtime frequently at my old job. Long story short, my old job paid about 50k with overtime. The new job pays about the same without working any overtime. I figured I would make more hourly, work less hours, and I would take not take a hit in pay. When I went to orientation, I found out there would be more deductions and taxes at this new job. There is a mandatory pension that was not mentioned, parking not included, city taxes, and more expensive benefits...so now Im making less. I kind of regret taking the job now and Im not sure what to do. Budget wise, I seem to be having a hard time adjusting with the pay and the change to biweekly.  <response>: Revel in the fact that you dont have to work your life away. Same pay for less hours is a win win!
