So, after counting up my dwinding bank account due to a series of unexpected expenditures, I have barely enough to get by on rent and utilities and so on. I also need to shore up just a few hundo (maybe $200 and change) in the next 30 days or less. Just for food and general existence. Work will probably not grant me enough overtime to get that and I can't really put it off until next month's payday anyhow, so I'm thinking about the dreaded Second Job option. I have the pathfinding skills of an army officer so delivery gig work is out. Beyond looking for more fixed labor such as part-time work at shops on weekends/evenings I'm kind of out of ideas (and I'd be in much the same boat as simply working overtime at my current job and with less hassle).
Any ideas appreciated
Babysitting is great. If you can, get to know your neighbors — a lot of them likely have kids. There are apps that connect families to babysitters too but I haven’t used one in a while. If it’s a date night you can come over after the kids are already in bed and get paid to watch tv until midnight!
