<prompt> Human: Hi guys Ive lurked here for awhile and now I finally have something to post about. Im currently making 1200 a Month. I recently received a job offer at 2500-3600 a month. This is a pretty big deal for me and I was wondering what the best way to handle all that money would be?Assistant: What field are you in? As a fellow 18 year old who makes half that id like to know what jobs I should be doingHuman: Full time sales rep for cellphone store that is sponsored by Sprint. 1600 in hourly with 900-1800 being the average monthly commission bonus  <response>: Dont count on that commission at all for at least 6 months minimum. And not at all for any committed monthly expenses like rent or food. Ive been in comission sales for over a decade and every industry and even individual stores have high and low months and you must be able to float yourself thru the bad months. You wont know what those are until youve been there awhile. Pretend you dont have the extra funds at all until you have a 6 month emergency fund set aside for your expenses. Id also recommend setting up an account for your check to be deposited and then transfer your budgeted monthly expenses into a separate checking account. That way your high months dont just get left in checking and accidentally spent.
