<prompt> Human: So here my story. I live 2 hours away from my job I make 11.50 at..I have 100 in my bank and thats it. I bring home maybe 500 a paycheck which most of it goes to gas money300ish and the other I pay car insurance for.I have a little one on the way and cant afford to go to this job anymore. Sometimes I stay home from my job so I font have to pay for the gas.Which obviously affects my job performance. Im about to get fired. I can possibly get a job with a previous employer and make 10.50 an hour and its two blocks away. So id be bringing home about 500 pure profit. So here is my question. Should I quit my current job without having a sure fire backup to pursue this other opportunity? Its killing my wallet and I cant afford this other job. The pay is terrible for the work. My boss always calls me foul names. I do 90 of the work and no recognition for stepping up to the plate when others fail. Its just a bad situation.Help? : Im stressed to the bone so bad Im having heart palpitations. Tldr: make 11.50 an hour at current job 2 hours away. Pay 34 of my paycheck in gas. Could get a job 2 blocks away and save hundreds. Should I quit and pursue other job? Or stay on board and kill my pocketbook more?  <response>: Why would you take a 2 hour commute for 50 cents more per hour? Outside of some wonderful career opportunity that will translate into a job that pays multiple times your current pay, it is not worth it. Moreover, you are claiming your boss abuses you. The only real question is whether the 10.50 job is available. Get it first, then quit your current job. A 2 hour drive is crazy for a close to minimum wage job.
