Looking for advise to make more cash so I can become DF quicker!

I currently have two jobs and I have sold things on Ebay but with my goal to clear at least one of the debts by the end of the year I need to find another source of income.

My main job I have just finished training and won't be allowed to do overtime until the beginning of June when I get put onto the shift rota, Im thinking of doing an hour a day for now which would be a 30 minute lunch as I hardly ever use a full hour and an hour before or after the shift depending on when the shift ends.

I've considered a third job but don't think I would have the energy to take on a job and it would have to be at night to fit in with current jobs, I have nearly sold everything I have on Ebay and so Im running out of options.

So I put it to my fellow DFW's to help me if they will be so kind :)

    I think you should relax a bit you are working very hard. I also think u are doing very well to pay off all that debt by the end of the year so if it goes on a bit past that, its not so bad. Good luck. Hope you get some good advice.

    Agree with Tesuhoha, theres only so much you can do if u have reduced all ur expenditure and have two jobs, it really does come down to time itself and paying off as much u can. Try not to work urself into the ground though :o

    Think of it like this...you're on the right track & doing brilliantly BUT if you overdo it, will get ill, have no opportunity for O/T etc & then the plan will go down the pan! Just paying off that amount of debt in a year is a major achievement so breathe, carry on doing as you are & give yourself a pat on the back!

    Completely agree. There is no point in damaging your health by taking on too much. We all need to take a break at some point even if it's just to catch up on some sleep, take a walk or whatever you need to do to relax. Being overworked will eventually make you counter productive and it will benefit no one. As FF says, what if doing all this works makes you ill?

    Take care, take some time for yourself. Good luck!
