Friday...it is the weekend

Most of us spend wayyyy (yes that much way) too much money on the weekends. I know so many people who can go to the bar before the game, or to the bar a night and spend $100+. Are you kidding me? That money is wasted. Sure getting wasted is sure fun but is it worth paying the premium of drinking at a bar. I personally prefer having people over and saving the money.

Alcohol is a funny thing...you only rent it. You pay for it to enter your body, and then you release it. It is empty calories, costs plenty of money, and isn't a good way to Dent Your Debt. Limit yourself and you can easily loosen the belt on your budget.

2nd Job cont...

So I'm now officially in the 2nd job boat. I always said I'd only do it if I have to, but I don't this day and age. I have all of my student loans paid off, no credit card debt, and really just my wife's student loans.

This 2nd job has been a great opportunity to help fund our new house projects without dipping into any of our savings and funds. It isn't all that much but it definitely helps. I work 10 hours a week extra which doesn't sound like much but it does add up.

Do you have a 2nd job? Are you looking for one? Just don't burn yourself out if you do make that choice.
