Cost of living.
Payroll Specialist in San Jose:
Pros: It is a fast paced environment. Time goes by fast, I have a full day planned to do things - errands etc. I can go to the City and it is close by also I can go back home visit family. I am in the middle of it all.
Cons: The cost of living is way high. I basically live pay check to pay check. I have to pick and choose where my money goes. Like what is more important, gas or food or both. The quality of food is tested. I can't buy organic because I cannot afford it. The pay is okay but prices keep going up so I am forced to work full time and so is my husband. We try to do OT to help out.
