a higher paying job initially seems like
a great thing but it might also come
with some hidden expenses that can
really start to add up over time let's
take a look at a few of these costs that
you'll want to consider when making your
final decision will you have to move
some job changes will require you to
pick things up and relocate if this is
the case you'll want to consider what
your new rent or housing costs will be
these often eat up a pretty big chunk of
your monthly income so you'll want to
factor in this change before accepting a
new job
don't forget the actual expenses of
moving to like renting a truck or hiring
a moving company do you need a ride
you'll want to think about how you'll
get to and from work
will you drive yourself or use public
transportation both options come with
their own set of expenses owning a car
includes maintenance and gas while
taking the bus or metro costs money as
well will you need new clothes some jobs
have a particular dress code if this is
the case you'll want to shop around and
see how much a new wardrobe would cost
some employers provide uniforms but if
you need to invest in something like
business clothes that can add up pretty
quickly what are the benefits be sure to
look into the health insurance dental
insurance and retirement plans of a job
knowing the value of your benefits or
the cost of not having them can help you
make a better decision about a job some
jobs may pay well but might not include
benefits other jobs might have a more
modest salary but include excellent
benefits after thinking these over
hopefully you have a better idea of
whether or not a certain job is a good
fit for you GCF Global creating
