<prompt> Human: I need some good advice. Heres the gist. I am a single father living paycheck to paycheck. I work for a great company with 2 close friends. These friends were bringing in 6 figured incomes while in sales. My position is management and my income is MUCH less than theirs. I come from a sales background and this is the 1st time Ive managed. Ive done great in both fields. Anyway, the 2 friends got their commission percentages dropped. They would still be making low 6 figures but they felt cheated and quit. They are starting their own company and asked me to join them at an equal share 33. In the meantime my company decided to give me the sales job and a 25k raise for the 1st year and once 1 year is completed Id be strictly commission. Strictly commission wouldnt be an issue since I bring in over 1mil in sales a year as manager. Strictly commission will bring me to a 6 figure income. Im heavily leaning towards staying where i am but is that the right move? Do I stay put and finally be able to provide the type of life my child deserves or do I take the risk and join this new business? Please give some solid advise. Thank you  <response>: I am a single father living paycheck to paycheckI dont think youre in any position to be taking risks that may end up with you not being able to food on your childs plate.
