And the can opener is because one time she bought a can of soup for lunch then realized she didn’t have anything to open it with. (The can of soup didn’t have a pull tab. I know most do, though)

On a separate note..I pulled up a tax calculator and it turns out with my new job my take home pay will be pretty much what my gross pay was at my old job. I wonder if it still was worth it-money wise. I guess it is because that will be about $640 a month deposited in my bank account that I didn’t have.

Sounds like it's worth it to me. And you also could be in a place where you could be getting raises.

And funny about the box cutter and can opener! Fun fact: I grew up using an electric can opener. I can never seem to figure out the handheld kind (like where you open the whole can, not just punching holes). I even watched a how-to YouTube video, but still couldn't seem to do it. I've had to ask H to help me with it when the electric can opener was broken. I prefer the cans with self-opening lids!
Thanks for this!
