does anyone here work 2 jobs?

[Yarg!]

how do u cope? i just got a new working nightshifts at a gas station. basically i sit behind a locked door and just press a button that authorizes ppl to fill up. its great cuz its just me and there are about 1-2 hr stretches between 2-4am where there is not a single customer. when that happens i catch some sleep. pay is pretty shoddy, (9/hr) but its pretty convenient.

however, there is this place that just called me today. pay is 12 an hr and i can work there as well since i only work 3 shifts a week over at the other place. but, this new place is abit far and also there would be a time when my shifts kind of overlap meaning i get off work at 7am at chevron, sleep like 45 mins then i bus 1 hr straight to the other place to get there by 9am then work there till like 5.
it'll only be 1 day of the week when that happens but itll be pretty hectic. does anyone have 2 jobs? can u guys manage?

if i can pull this off i can make around 2g a month. i dont pay rent at all so its all towards food, clothes, booze , school and gym fees.

[Yarg!]

[georgie24]

Pay off the credit card before you buy anything


I wouldn't be able to sleep just 45 minutes. If that's all I had I'd just stay up the whole time.

 

[theoak01]

dude you get to sleep at job one,do it then you wont be so bad when you need to go in to job two,it will be a shitty sleep pattern but you do what you gotta do man

I use to work 8-5 then go pump gas 11-7 but nobody came in for full service so I would chat to the self serve guy, clean the car wash, wash my car, sleep and or drink lots of java. I only lasted about 3 months before I burned out.

Did 3 different jobs my Sr. jr in high school... was hard with that balance... but did it. then after on and off maintained 2 jobs working weekends and hours off at a resturant ... all for the wrong reasons ( to buy my x a damn harley ) but still did it... then formed my own business and worked full time and then went home did my mother duties cooked cleaned and all that and then did homeplans at home and made xtra money that way.

I want to pull an xtra job right now, just a work a holic... but my beau doesn't want me to. blah... so not sure if I will kick my home business back up or not.

well im not gonna be that bad. the schedules areonly going to conflict on one day and thats when i pull a 16hr super shift basically. think its doable?

 

[theoak01]

i regularly work doubles and after the drive it turns out being 5-6 hrs sleep then start over again,I just focus those days on work and sleep,nothing else,so its doable

good luck

Only one day a week? Sure you can pull that. You stay awake that long anyway, it's the time of day that's gonna be the hard part. Buy some caffeine pills.

yeah, did the thinking job during the day (pharmacy) and the non thinking job at night (bar)

why dont you buy a car that wont lose its value too much (or at all) by the time youre ready to go backpacking, and cash it in at the end? i tend to be a really shrewd buyer (i do my homework before i buy, pull lots of strings, have cash ready to throw at a bargain, and reasonable skills in negotiation), so my cars/stuff/whatever dont drop too much by the time i offload to them. really, most of the time, i see the cost of owning a car as simply running costs plus interest ie barely worth mentioning. those hours in the week otherwise spent commuting could be used to work/sleep/recuperate

if yorue serious about saving money, put a budget together, identify the parts of your spending that could be curtailed, and others that could be increased to compensate. write down all of your expenses, tally it all up on a week to week basis (or monthly basis) and make some choices about how to do it better.

if yorue a young guy, pay particular attention to how much you spend on booze/drugs, and eating out of the house. theyre the usual money haemmorhages.

youll laugh but i spend about as much as a student, but live in a hotel and go out at least 5 nights a week. i shake my head at friends on 70k a year who work 50 hours a week and have a savings account with 3k in it, who still cant work it out

i just retrained my housemate regarding how to eat super healthy for very little money - buy a pressure cooker, learn how to use it to use cheaper protein sources (using a pressure cooker softens the meat ridiculously ie it goes from tough steak to being mooshed up by your tongue alone, and it also liquifies fat, so taht you can scoop it off the top and throw it away.

i taught him how to make pasta sauces, stews, and how to cook roast sized portions through then finish them off in the oven with a glaze, and got him into prepacking them for freezing in plastic containers

in other words, my little hotel kitchen is now a frozen tv dinner packing plant (but he only spnds 30 bucks a week now, instead of a hundred)
