Which do you wanna hear first? Good news or bad news? I always like the bad news first, that way the good news might boost my mood. So I'm gonna tell you the bad news then I'll tell you the good news. :)
Bad news: I have money issues. Who doesn't we usually end up living pay check to pay check jealous of those who don't. I'm like most the people in the world living pay check to pay check that I hear complaints about. I don't necessarily live pay check to paycheck depending on the time of the year and how my live is going, but I'm just like any other average American, I can't stand to not have money saving up fast enough because sooner or later I know it's gonna sneak up on me and I'm gonna fall into the void. I owe thousands of dollars, much that I avoid paying a single penny on. This is because usually I'm avoiding spending every penny I work so hard for. I been wanting a second job thinking strongly about it next month, but don't see how it's possible without quitting my current job, which in some ways defeats the purpose of looking for a second job. Quitting my current job to go to a better job is reasonably considered though because of making the better paying job the full-time job, my job is currently full-time or nothing and the second job would be in computer repair which is a job that takes place around the same hours of my current job. I just started this job and it's filled with wonderful people and great discounts on something i need, car parts. I've thought about asking for a raise but there are a few reasons why I shouldn't do that and I'm not gonna get into detail as it's also too early to be asking for a raise.
Good news: I've been doing computer repair at home on the side and it seems to be kicking off really well. I made $100 dollars last week alone my 2nd week (made nothing my first week :P) Haven't heard much this week just mostly spam and people I think just trying to steal my money in one way or another. I could do this on the side if it works out well enough and work whenever I want but I'm not sure how long I can keep it going people are iffy about passing on computer repairs to me. I might be cheap but still a lot of people even with cheap computer repair are just buying new computers whenever something goes wrong. That's what it seems at least but it's too early to determine the facts. I'm gonna give it about 3 months and see where it goes. If I start building up contacts and make enough with it I'll keep it around. I've gotten a lot of work done this week and I'm hoping to see what I can accomplish over the next month.

I've done comp repair on the side for years and the best thing to do is build up a reputation with a few people. I have done it remotely for a few years and then they refer you out to other people. I work a 0900 to 1800 job, but do the comp repair after 1900hrs to about 2200hrs. Depending on your time zone it can work out well and you can pull 225$/day. The key is to work remotely. I did the 'go to your house/place of business' for years and the commute time was most of the cost. When I went remote, that commute turned into profit and less wear and tear on my car. I now have some IT people on my list of support. They are bitchy about my schedule, because they work early hours, but I still get them on late to fix an issue with their boss.

Thanks everyone. I'm sorry sometimes I ramble on and stuff and don't clearly make my point and I know I probably did that in my post a few times but thanks for the good feedback. It's all going so well right now I am so much to learn but I do so far have a fair reputation I think since one guy I know was really happy and the other I think I upset him a little but I did my best to keep finding interest to maybe boost his opinion of me while concentrating to get done the process at hand. Thank you so much everyone I couldn't have asked for much better responses from anyone!
