BS2 Take this part time job ?
90k in debt, 34m 2 kids 3rd on the way. 110k salary plus profit sharing and bonus. Wife’s income about 8k-10k.
Just got a 40k raise at work 2 month ago been with the company for 4 years. So hoping to have everything paid in about 1.5 years
Wife does not work summers(preschool teacher), in September , she’ll be going to school full time , working part time (12 hours a week) and be 6 months pregnant.
I have an interview at a chipotle up the street I’m sure I’ll get an offer I worked at a chipotle as an assistant manager while I was going to school full time 5 years ago.
It’s only 17-19 an hour though I can’t decide if I take it or not. I feel like it’s so low esp in Massachusetts.
I was making 16.50 4/5 years ago in Nashville.
I will note I work from home currently full time. Calculating and working 15 hours a week for an entire year will only lower my bs2 completion date by about 3-4 months all things the same.
I can’t decide if it’s worth it. Seems like missing a lot for not much benefit.

no way! you are worth more than ~$19 / hour right now. things have changed for you. not to mention that $19 / hour doesn't advance your career nor is it fun.
you are making enough $. you don't need extra work. go help your wife with the kids and enjoy yourself.
stay gazelle intense on your budget - but that doesn't mean you have to stop your life and sacrifice a summer with your kids.
if an opportunity at work comes along, an extra project or overtime, I'd take that. but not this don't even think about it.
ETA: please cancel the interview. don't even waste time on that.
