Hi,
I recently got my first 9-5 job (which is actually 9-6), Ive always been a freelancer, contractor, worked odd jobs, part time, under the table etc. I have some questions: is it normal to feel dizzy and exhausted after work? Im refreshed again in the morning but then get dizzy again, migraines, I can’t think about my life after work, it feels like I have like 3 hours to myself a day now. 8 hours every day feels like a lot?
also, is it normal to spend a ton of money when starting a job? Ive never made more than like $15k in my life, I now make $80k, so far Ive spent $2k+ on clothes (like a pair of work pants for every day of the week), food, a mattress pad, AC, transportation, gummy vitamins, etc, is this normal?
my partner has been asking me to pay for our expenses and more rent now that I make more, is this normal? it feels slightly unfair because she works part time and she’s able to have a life outside of her job (as one should), doesn’t cook, I worry Im going to just be working all the time with no life and expected to pay for both of us, or is that normal?
ok last one: how do I pick a health insurance plan? its united healthcare, all of the options sound like a scam, is a high deductible and low monthly cost better for a younger person not expecting to use the insurance much?
