This is probably one of the most common questions asked when people are trying to take the right step to settling their finances. I have thought this over numerous times and I still have yet to get a second job. Is it right for you... I don't know... but this is what I have considered. Over the next week or so I will be going over some of the options of getting a 2nd job or avoiding the commitment.
1. Time! Time is so limited anyway if you are working a 40+ hour a week job. This might be different for people who do odd jobs, or work a part time job with no option of getting additional hours. For me I work 40-43 hours a week. My Fiancé Brittany works 20-30 hours a week and goes to school full time. We have time together right now but sometimes it just isn't enough! You know the feeling right? Is sacrificing time with family or loved ones worth a few extra dollars? Maybe temporarily but I would never recommend it as a full time solution. Maybe we need to adjust your spending budget?
Right now I get off work around 4:00 pm. Brittany is off work around 5:30 - 6:00. The plasma donation center is about 5-10 minutes away from work and isn't much out of my way home. It takes 1-1.5 hours per donation and I can donate 2 times a week totaling $55. 3 hours max = $18 an hour not bad right? It is also tax free cash. I donate twice a week 2 times a month for an extra $110 a month. This can go as far to covering overages on the budget, chipping away at debt, or even a little fun money. This is done all in time to make it home in time to be with my Fiancé.
