I (F22) started at a dealership in the fall doing sales, and it’s going really well.. Slow learning but after 4 months i really got the hang of it!

I’m a pretty social person and I pride myself on being personable and making connections fast, i’ve been in the automotive industry most of my job life, but its my first sales job, i did do accounting for a dealership group before. but im excelling here with the internet department specifically.

My general manager let me know that our current Internet Director is moving up and he wants me in the position, right now i make 2-4k in mini commissions and this position has commissions for sales as well as Director pay. I spoke with our current and she said she makes between 15-25k a month and 10k if it’s really really slow. I’ll be moving into it slowly but should have it fully by the fall…

How do i manage this much of an income change? I have a track record of spending a lot and not saving as much… Better now but I have a loan from taking out so many payday loans and that speaks for itself lol..

What should I do to help myself be prepared to manage this ? I plan on investing in a couple different retirement plans and of course pay off debt. What else should i do??

TL;DR: My income is significantly changing for the better and i’m worried about how to manage it.
