The Frugal Girl

DECEMBER 11, 2023

Last year, to make a little extra cash, I started boarding dogs through Rover, and I am about to start a very very part time job using my RN license for a home care company. We’re in a semi -rural area within 30 minutes of a few good-sized towns, and within 2-3 hours of several major cities. Good for you guys.

For so long, we plodded along with next to nothing while our neighbors were running up their charge cards and using home equity loans to take vacations.

Back before the internet was invented, I used to write short fiction stories and try to get them published. It kept me busy and out of trouble, used up a lot of stamp money, but never yielded a dime. Hubby used to be way into contests and giveaways. What less than satisfactory part time jobs have you done to try to make a buck?
