Second Job

Fireflyaway

I really enjoy my job but it pays quite a bit less than my previous role. I'm just not seeing many better paid jobs out there to apply for but will keep looking.

I want to tackle my debts and have a bit more spending money so I've been considering a second job until I find a better paid main job.
My main concern is if I did do this it would have to be weekends and then Id have little time to see my family. Our time together is limited as it is.

Has anyone done this and how did it go? Any other suggestions for making some money on the side? I did think about starting an ebay business but I don't know what that product could be !

You can have as many jobs as you like, in theory, just bear in mind you're most likely to burn yourself out if you work too hard for too long because you will need to sleep, eat and chill. Work to live, not live to work.

You may want to if you haven't already done so to check what you're entitled to benefit wise such as Working Tax Credit which can provide a boost of up to £60 a week if you're eligible. if you are, that's extra ongoing money for as long as you're entitled.

Howdy!
I agree with Neil . I remember you leaving a stressful job recently ,and think you should relax in the better job you are in now .
I don't know if you have a lot of debt as such, but if you have then maybe head over to the debt free wannabe forum ?
Hope it works out for you ,whatever you decide .
