Reality Check with Second Job
Cotta
Posts: 3,667 Forumite
Hi All,
I have a second job in a shop that I work in two out of every three Saturdays, the work is fairly mundane but I was looking at my finances last night and when everything averages out for the year I'm making £17 per week from it.
I always wanted my second job to keep my car on the road but obviously at £17 per week this isn't working out. Does anyone have any good ideas as to how to make a better income on my Saturdays? I know I could opt to work more hours but the shop already eats up enough of my Saturdays as it is and I don't want to spend too much time there.
Thanks

Glad you've worked this out. Solution: higher paying job. That's it in simple terms.0

It should have dawned on me sooner, in relation to the higher paying job - it's difficult to get something part time that is above minimum wage.0

Job sharing a well paid full time job can work out.
These and well paid part time jobs tend to be in the public sector.
Another option might be a compressed week and/ or some working from home?
Other options are doing temp work?This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

I have attempted the usual, sold all odds and ends and complete in one of the reward sites that pays vouchers for completing surveys.0 -
Saturdays ... more than minimum wage .... not all day ... I see one route: Holiday lettings cleaning.
This pays more than NMW as the slots between people leaving and next ones arriving is so short.0 -
