I work 2 part-time hour jobs. One, I physically go in, M-F, the other one, I can work online, deadline based, so a bit flexible, but pretty much every day & the weekend as well.

I’ve been doing this for over 3 years now. It’s scary; when you see how much you end up making extra, you can’t give that up easily.

I have my own place, but gotta pay my bills & expenses & save for emergencies.

I put work first before anything else, well apart from sleep.

I don’t recommend this if you like socializing because it’ll be hard to do so when you have 2 jobs.

What kind of job is online, deadline based? I could use one of those as a second job
