Given:

• Money is what makes this world go 'round
  
• I like(d) spending money on my friends
  
• I have expensive tastes (booze, electronics, cars and art)
  
• I am a good consumer whore (see above)
  
• I am prone to being hit with heavy expenses (vet bills for the cat, unexpected car repairs and acting as a loan broker)
  
• My taxes are too simple
  
• I don't like how little money I am saving per month
  
• I am not pleased with how long it has taken me to achieve my current level of savings in my various accounts (401(k), savings accounts, Roth IRA, bonds, etc)
  
• Inflation looms in our future
  
• I have too much free time
  and
  
• I'm unsatisfied with the fact I'm still drawing breath
  

Well, when I take all of that into account I can only come to one conclusion: I think I should look into getting a second job. I just dunno where I should apply at first.

Damn dude, this must be the season for people getting second jobs, huh.

What were you thinking about looking into? I'm really curious.

Before you do that, read this.

Best seven bucks I spent this year. I'd loan you my copy, but it went to England with kenket, and it won't be in the States again until July. Changed my life overnight.

Thoughts.

Will the fact of taking a second job change the fact you're unsatisfied you're still drawing breath?

I don't think that extra work, with all that extra stress and the like, would cure what seems to me to be the main problem.

And some of us are still glad you're drawing breath, when it comes down that.

From someone who is taking stab #2 at a second job... good luck. It can take a toll physically and mentally. My knees are getting somewhat better, and we're getting the paper route done faster, so we have more time to rest, but it can still be challenging. The money is going to help kick some of this debt in the groin, though.
