Re: is it easier to make money or save money?
Something I read on another forum when I was first learning how to live below my means was a suggestion that one should not depend on overtime for the basics, or one should not use OT income to make one's budget. I understand there are times when it becomes necessary to use supplemental income to make ends meet, but I took that suggestion to heart. I am greedy, I take OT when I can get it, and I'm looking to take a second job. However, my budget, my basic necessities and basic savings, come from my 40hr/wk income. I am currently young, have no children and I have the time to work the extra hours. This money however, is going towards savings, both short term and long term, rather than makings ends meet.
