Sadly, this is becoming more and more prevalent in our society. Wages seriously need to keep up with cost of living increases!

I actually work a full time job (40+ hrs/wk) and a part-time job AND I own my own business...and I'm only 24. My two jobs really are to make ends meet. I've recently bought a small house and bills are a killer.
The business won't be a money maker for a while so it's costing us to invest in it and we won't see the profits for a while. Why can't I just win the lottery!!!!
Having to work this much is getting stressful. I find I never see my fiance or have time to recreational/social type things. One of these days I hope to get rid of the part-time job but I can't just yet.

It's true! Sounds like it's time for you to take control of your destiny and start a small business. This creates leverage as well as residual income, something you will never find in the work force. Wages are not going to change so people need to find solutions. If you take a home business and treat it as a million dollar business, there is no cap on your salary. I work with people every day who all work from home, are very dedicated to helping others and are earning in excess of $10,000/mo. All of them have been doing this for less than 2 years.
I recommend learning what it is about, and just go out and do it! You don't need to be a salesperson or go to countless meetings, you just need to set goals and have the people who have already done it show you the way. You can do this to supplement your income, but you will find that in less time than you think, you will surpass your income because you are doing it for YOU.

Yes, I am working part time, but I am working from my home. I am setting myself up so that I no longer have to work full time at a job with a crummy boss and have to answer to people. I am o excited that soon enough, I will be home full time!!!

I am actually working a full time, a part time, and full time in school! Cost of living in the Bay Area is ridiculous!

Yes! I have a college degree and have been doing this for about 7 years. I am in the process of starting my own business though. Hopefully, that will help to settle things for me.

I did until the beginning of this year. I did it for 2 years. It was really hard. I felt like I had no time or energy to even breath.
