Have You...

Ever thought about getting a second job? Right now, I am working a full-time job as an Executive Assistant supporting 3 Vice Presidents in our local Healthcare industry, the pay is great, but I cannot seem to get ahead of myself! I have been divorced now for 2 years, separated for 4, and have been with my boyfriend for almost 4 years. I have money, but I do not feel comfortable, and I feel like I am struggling sometimes.

I share custody of my daughters (who are 15 and 13) with my ex-husband. We have week on week off, and the weeks they are not with me I am at my boyfriend's house. I still provide a house on the weeks they are with me, and I pay for dance, and braces, and anything else they need. I just am not where I want to be professionally, and I am only on one salary.

Any tips? Do you work a second job?

    Organization is key! I would invest in an organization app/tool if you're thinking of going forward with a second job.
