We are two adults and have two jobs. One in IT and one in the oil business - takes up quite a lot of our time, so sometimes it feels like working 3 or 4 jobs :-D

More then we have and can have. I work at home and I also use survey sites and thngs like that to make money. My husband has two jobs and we still live below the poverty level. I don't know what it is like to be ahead and run smoothly. We always are worrying or stressing over someting.

I work from home too. Sorry to hear things are difficult. We have been there as well. Can make this time of year rough.In addition to survey sites I use GPT sites. Some of those pay nicely. Good luck!

We have two adults, three children, three dogs and a cat and one job. My husband gets paid well and the little bit of extra that I make online helps with the extras that the kids want.
It wasn't always like this though. We had to move 800 miles to find a job that would pay him what his work is worth. I've come to think that it depends on where you live as to how well you will be paid.
Wages were low for the same amount of work where we lived before and we really struggled. Here though, wages are high for the type of work he does and they keep giving him raises and let him know that they appreciate his work. Like I said, it depends on where you live. Now I don't have to work anymore. It's a nice change.

Nice to hear things are easier after your move. But beg to differ. You have 3 kids. You have 3 dogs, and a cat. Anyway you slice that you are still working! MOMS need wages darn it! LOL

LOL! Let me rephrase! I WORK I just don't get a paycheck for it! haha!
It would be nice if we got paid for what we do. It would even be nice if the government gave us a tax break for it. Not counting on it though! LOL
