Temp-to-hire offer, worth it? - 23 weeks in

I got a contract offer for 17 months as an IT help-desk technician and I am unsure whether to accept. There are 17 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I have 2 months of savings left. What would you do?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 2 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
