As of today I have two sources of income - Social Security and a part time job. I have been at the part time job for almost 5 years, and it has always seemed secure. Today, however, I was informed that perhaps the job will no longer continue through the summer months -- I'm thinking next year. So, I am seriously considering either full time employment or return to freelance writing again.
I will likely keep both versions for now. I get blu-ray discs and we manage at least one a week. My husband is a movie fanatic, and he doesn't care if it is a b movie or not. Plus, I love the documentaries and foreign films. We never go to the movie theater because of the expense and for the price you rarely get in a movie where no cell phones ring, etc. Plus we dumped cable entirely and are saving a lot of money from that.
great post, no need for air conditioning!
As i write this it is 100 degrees outside and in the house the temps range from 80 in the basement to 112 in the attic.
im on the second floor and nope we don thave 'Air COnditioning"
Ok so u same folks who complain in the winter ITS TOO COLD then recreate winter in the summer by turning on the freezing cold air? awww its tooo hottt, they say. get a life. summer is hot, winter is chilly.
i personally love hot humid weather, its a relief from the frigid temps here in winter.
Oh and i live in a 120 year old house so yeah there was no AC to begin with here. What do you think the people in victorian time did, in their layers of clothing in the summer?
do you think they cried and whined and sued com ed when the power went out and their ac failed to work?
seems like as generations go by, people get wimpier.
I have a full time day job, and also run a small business on the side (I call it my nights and weekends job!) I do have goals to invest in other properties/business ideas that will create other sources of income in the future.
I work at a Hospice House five days a week full time. Also, work at a Home care part time and have three housekeeping jobs. I want to pay my mortgage off early and keep building up my EF.
Yes multiple sources of income is awesome because I can have a couple of the sources deposited automatically into savings. The income is from two jobs and a side tutoring job. :)
If you count little online things like blogging, completing surveys and writing book reviews, then yes! They don't bring in a whole lot of money, but I often use that play money to buy discounted gift cards that help the dollars and cents spread even farther.
I sometimes feel like I have two jobs. My first (primary) job pays the bills, while my second job (filling out online surveys at MySurvey and Opinion Outpost) gives me some spending cash every month. It's not much, but it's an easy way to make a couple of extra bucks.
As two middle-agers, we purchased a Netflix subscription so as to avoid the high prices at the movie theater. Part of our decision was related to the value that the subscription provided, and the option to stream a movie on a rainy or snowy weekend if we had already viewed our DVD. Since I'm not willing to pay double for the service, we have discussed and will get DVDs only since we are more interested in seeing movies that have recently been in the movie theater. We will miss the streaming option, but we also have Comcast which lets us do that, so if use it occasionally, it still won't cost the same as the full subscription.
Netflix streaming + Redbox for DVDs. You may not get to hold onto the DVD for quite as long, but $1 for the night isn't bad if you can remember to return it.
I work my main job, which is an administrative assistant.
I get my second income writing thank you cards, which is a mandatory part of the job as a sales rep where I work. I write them for 4-7 reps a month, at a $100 a rep. I can pull in an additional $400 - $700 a month simply writing thank you cards for customers.
Right now I'm editing/beta reading a novel for a friend I met through Twitter. If she's pleased about my edits and comments I made to her book I'm hoping she'll help spread the words to her writer friends and on her Twitter about me, and then I can start working on becoming a freelance editor for self-publishers.
As a student living away from home for the first time, I realized that I was not making enough money to pay all my bills and I was racking up more debt than I was okay with! So in addition to my job as a receptionist, I got a job serving tables at a restaurant. It has been an adventure because I have never served before but it is so nice to have tip money to take home at the end of every night and put directly toward paying down my debt!
No. I just have one job and doubt that I will ever have enough time for another one with two young children.
Not right now, but I'm working on either having 2 or just getting a better job.

2 full-time jobs are our sources of income & 17 yr old's part-time income helps us too. He spends his money not ours! @wisebread #WBAsk

I work full time and my husband works full time. It really helps that our teenage son has a part-time job too! It really helps us out.

It dissolved my contact lenses completely and it irritated the heck out of my eyes. Other than that, it was great.

My second source of income is rental income. I own a double unit house in an old, city neighborhood making the mortgage very affordable.
Should anything bad happen, at least the mortgage can always be covered by the tenants rent.
