Spending Zero Dollars and Working Two Jobs

I guess there are really only two ways to make money: either spend less, or get paid more.  I struggle daily to spend less.  So far, I’ve been able to pay off my credit card debt, but I haven’t been able to save much.  So I decided I had to earn more money in order to jumpstart my savings (this is also the reason why I haven’t posted anything in a long time).

I took on some freelance work and so far, having a second job has been great.  My evenings are really busy, but I am doing something profitable instead of just sitting around on my ass.  There’s also something very satisfying about tracking my hours and calculating how much money I’ve earned each day.  It’s also very nice to know that I can earn some extra money even when the economy is in a slump.  Clearly not every business is in trouble.

I’ll be back to this site eventually, but for now, I have two jobs that demand my attention.
