Dad with full time job, need extra income or new job, really desperate :(

I'm a 22 year old dad with a full time retail job. I get about £900 a month after tax (About. $1350 a month) which is really not enough and I don't get benefits cus I don't live with my girlfriend yet.

I am looking for something I can do alongside my current job or instead of it, I really just need alot more money but I can't think how, every month is a struggle at the minute :(

Also if I got a new job I wouldn't know what job to go for, I have a full uk driving licence but no car, plenty of retail experience but no further education qualifications.

Any answers would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance :)

    What have you got in the way of GCSEs etc?

    Move in with your girlfriend and child - the financial benefits will outweigh the costs.

    Is your job set shifts, could you ask for extra shifts or fit in a bar job?

    How are you at writing (i.e. without typing 'cuz' etc) because there's always Ciao and Dooyoo or Helium, and a few other review sites. They won't make you a fortune but you could bring in an extra £50-£100 a month with them.
    Moving onto a better place...Ciao :wave:
