My Story on How to Successfully Take Courses While Working Full Time

Prairie Eco-Thrifter

One of the things many of you may or may not know about me is that my entire university education has been acquired while working full time. When I was allotted TV time, I didn’t use it to watch the standard children’s shows. I guess part of it came naturally as both my mother and grandmother worked in the medical field at the time. When you are 18, two years seems like a life time. Assess Your Time.

Prairie Eco-Thrifter

I can’t think of a time in my adult life when I haven’t been fully immersed in a full-time job or career, while also making income on the side. My first side hustle was a part-time job at the local mall where I held my full-time day job. A couple of years ago, I took a part-time, 30 hour per week job to get my foot in the door at the company I currently work for.

Advance Your Career By Taking the Road Less Travelled

Prairie Eco-Thrifter

It all started in high school, when I graduated five months earlier than my peers so I could work full time and save up money before starting college. I worked full-time throughout college and took a few internships. I graduated early, worked full time during college, took low paying internships and made myself incredibly uncomfortable by taking the crap projects in the crap communities that nobody wanted to work on or go to.

5 Reasons Why You Should Blog Even If You Don’t Make Money From It

Prairie Eco-Thrifter

I am in awe of those who make a full-time living from their blogs and even have to higher assistants so they don’t have to work 80 hours a week themselves keeping their blogs running. Therefore, in a secondary way, my blog has helped me generate a part-time income every month to supplement my husband’s full-time income. I admit to being slightly envious of those who make a good income from their blogs.

Easy Ways to Build Up Your Savings

Prairie Eco-Thrifter

As the time passed, I was able to figure out ways to save more money and stay on top of my finances. Extra income for me meant anything that I earned above and beyond my full-time office job, from things like freelancing. I made it a habit to transfer the amount of my extra income into my account just for that purpose every single time I was paid, and I never missed it. A surprising amount of North Americans are not putting money away consistently for retirement.
