Help - 2nd income required!

Hi,

A friend of mine is really down at the moment because by the time she has paid out for her bills each month she has virtually nothing left for "spending money" so to speak. She was saying she could do with a 2nd job/income but didnt know what she could do and i must admit i wasnt much help!

Does anyone have any experience of being in the same situation and what type of work would people suggest. I know there's the obvious bar work etc but i think she would probably prefer something she could do from home if possible as she's out all day at work as it is..

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

    Have you tried to direct her to the DFW board? they can find savings where you might not think about looking :) She might not need a second job :)
    Otherwise I guess there is surveys... some of them pay pretty well... all depends I guess on what qualifications she may have? Otherwise there is trading on Ebay I guess :)
