Second Job

Hello All,

I was going to post this over on the employment forum but for some reason it fits better here.

Do any of you have full time jobs but rely on the income from a second job? I fall into this category, my second job is about 12 hours per week and is minumum wage and the money is vital in sustaining me. I've tried cutting back etc but I still seem to rely on this job.

How do some of you who double job manage this and have any of you any suggestions as to how to improve income and be less reliant on the second job?

    It might be worth posting on the Debt Free Wannabe area of the board.


    They'll direct you to where you can complete a SOA (Statement of Affairs), so they can get a full picture of your finances, and may be able to suggest areas where you can cut down/make changes, so perhaps it'll end up that you won't need the additional income in the longer term
