increase my income

08/02/09 Options are: Get a full time job with good pay. rent the spare room out,get a cheaper place to live, sell stuff we don’t need, sell my body!
9/02/09 Went for interview. maybe call back for a 2nd interview end of week.
11/02/09 Been invited back for a 2nd interview if I get this job it will increase my income by 13k a year!
13/02/09 Didn’t get the job, picked down to the last 2 and the other lady got it, I’m gutted as I was really banking on it.The company I work for announced that the business is unsustainable and may have to go into administration Things are definitley not looking good.
17/02/09 Applied for jobs related to wedding planning and hopefully will have meetings next week with a few.
19/02/09 Have arranged to see cheaper houses to rent not sure if this is the best answer but it could give us a little less expenditure therefore more income.
24/02/09 Keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow. Off for an interview with an exclusive wedding venue,I hope I get it!
25/02/09 really proud of myself today, made a good impression and the job will be full time and 25k.That would make a huge difference to us as a family.
27/02/09 Been invited to return on Monday for a 2nd interview and showround, even indicated that they would be interested in my fiance working in the company too.This is very promising. We have even got the landlord to reduce the rent what a result in one day! Monday will be the day that determines how much i have increased our income.
02/03/09 Well It’s THE Monday, went back to chat and was sat with someone in the office to show me what I would be in for. It sounded really positive but I thought I would have heard by now especially when I was told they would call.
03/03/09 YEAH!!!! Job offer £25k p.a!!!!!

Suddenly the stakes are high. I have 4 prospects for new opportunities. One involves my dream company; 2 involve celebrities (not necessarily looking forward to that drama) and one is a fall back that is a gamble…mainly subletting my apartment and hoping that it isn’t taken from me

When I look at things the way they are, I have to admit that I am grateful that I even have these opportunities. A year ago, 3 of the 4 would not have been possible.

I’m just trying to maintain my equilibrium in 2009. No extreme highs or lows. I did dip the other day dangerously down but a miraculous phone call out of nowhere from a friend truly saved me.

‘nuff said. Gotta have the dough to reach my other goal of getting out of debt.

Well, as we go into 2009, things are still the same. Oh wait, they’re worse. The automatic raise that I thought I was getting has been put on hold because of the economy! If you can imagine!

I have given up on eating healthily and now my skin looks like mud. I simply can’t afford to eat properly. And yet, I really want to look good for the Spring.

I decided not to quit…that would just be too dangerous in these times.

I told myself that I would wait before getting a roommate at the end of this month. It would help so much but I am so not in the mood for dealing with someone. It just takes so much energy…

I applied for a great job. High profile and I think super good money. I can’t even think about it. I feel like i deserve to get it but I am protecting myself from super disappointment.

I am walking in faith that I will be able to move into a full time consulting and make enough money to save for retirement, keep my kids in school and live happily.

This is crucial at this point. I can actually say that I have been hungry within the last month! Amazing considering where I live, and my skill level. The culprit is my dumb-ass job. I’m stuck in a super-low paying job with no hope for a raise until Jan at best. Even then, the raise will be so little that it’ll be a joke.

I have to go back to renting out my bedroom (that or becoming a prostitute). That is going to suck cuz I only have one bedroom and I hate the thought of living with another for money.

This is the epitome of “between a rock and a hard place”!

I suppose this is just focus…but alos motivation. I need to fix the things that are wrong about my job and then move on !

At present, I just think I was so lack of money.relying on my wage as my sole income,I just think I am not able to afford many things that I want to buy.

I started my new job two weeks ago – it is pays $14K more a year than my previous job!! But I think I will leave this goal until I hit 100k.

I’m convinced this will never happen at my present job, so it’s up to me to create some source(s) of additional income, then. Working a second job is not an option, as far as I’m concerned, so that means starting an internet-based business of some kind. I have one such business, already, but it’s not generating any income, so far. Writing and self-publishing e-books is yet another idea I am planning for – I just need to write the books.
