<prompt> Human: Im currently stuck as an Executive Assistant in a corporation that treats me, and all other assistants, like garbage. We get two weeks vacation, no bonuses, cant leave our desk for lunch, etc. Ive felt miserable here for a long time and started pursuing other opportunities. I interviewed yesterday for a wonderful new job managing a capital campaign at a local nonprofit. The hours are better, I get wonderful time off, benefits, sick days, etc. Its a beautiful environment and Id feel great working for an organization that makes a difference. I would be making around 50,000 a year and Im trying to see if its feasible. I also just received my yoga teacher certification so Id be able to sub classes when Im not working and make money on the side that way. As for debt: I have 1600 left on my car payments. I do have 5,000 worth of medical bills that I am working on and all my credit card debt is paid off. My boyfriend and I currently split rent of 2700month we live in a very expensive suburb and we are looking to downsize significantly when our lease is up in late September - our lease states that we cannot break it earlier without paying a significant penalty if you have any tips as to how to get out of this, let me know!!. I recently found a one bedroom for 1500 that we can easily manage. He is going to graduate school full time in the fall which means some of the day to day expenses will end on me. I have no savings.Thoughts? Is the career change feasible with such a drastic pay cut? EDIT thank you everyone for chiming in with advice! I am working on a budget and seeing if I can break my lease but all in all, Im going to try and make it work financially for me.  <response>: I am going to do a rough estimation and assume that you would be taking home around 3,100 a month with this new salary. You really cant answer this question until you know what you actually spend a month. Considering that you dont have any savings or investments I would assume you would be living out of your means on that salary and your plan wont work. A Stressful Job is awful, but not as bad as being unable to pay your bills. You need to budget first before you decide anything.
