Would You Get Another Job or Just Stay Home?

No, I don't think I would. But then again my situation's kind of complicated. However, I would look for a second job to help pay for the essentials. As a matter of fact, that's exactly what I've been doing. I even got a job offer with one place just the other day. Unfortunately I had to decline it. It wasn't so much the low pay or even that it was part-time. The problem was that since the hours clashed with my current job it wasn't worth taking it on. It's too bad too. I really could have used that job. Happy mylotting!

Oh gosh. I hate dealing with bosses because they never understand being a parent. They wouldn't let one friend of mine go when someone called to say her daughter is in the hospital with a high fever.. This is why I prefer working from home, but I will take that second job if I absolutely have to.

It would more depend on whether I had accomplished my goals rather than just providing for my family. I have dreams of having my own farm and I would continue to work a lot if I don't have that accomplished by the time I begin to start my own family. I think that if we can get to a point where we can sustain our lives and still have time to also enjoy them then that in the end would help us all to become content. However our dreams and goals also play a big role in how satisfied we are with what we are doing with our lives. Even if we are earning more than enough money to live, if we aren't happy than life will seem empty at times. Like you said also it's definitely nice to save up for vacations and things like that, there are so many opportunities and places in this world we live in that it seems like a waste to not try and do the things that you dream of doing.

A pleasant day Muelitz, With reference to your query, if I will be place in the same situation, I will try to look for another way on how can I earn. As I need to save money for the future of my family. Not only to have money for extra activities but for the savings that needs more attention. And I will definitely do looking as long as I can still do extra jobs. As long as I have the strength and capacity to work and do more ways on how to earn.

i would like to do job, hat will we get if we simply sit at home, and if the opportunity is good, and i have the stamina, i would save all the earnings for future

Yes, I would get another extra job if I can handle it. If it doesn't interfere with my relationship with my family and time for them, why not. Because sometimes, when parents are too busy focusing on work for the family, they haven't notice they hadn't had the time to really listen to what's going on at home. Vacations are one way for bonding, though. If you can, both of you and your spouse, why not?

I would not get another job. Instead, I would spend more time with the family. Consider fun things like movie nights at home or playing games. You can even have a dance party at home. I would also take the money I do make and save as much as possible. Learn to save on groceries, clothing, and other bills. It would also be helpful to you by limiting how much you eat out. If possible, use coupons and take advantage of sales. Allow your money to be more valuable, and you can allow yourself to do more.

I would get another job. Last year I had two jobs. I worked 7 days a week from spring to autumn and this year I did the same thing in July and August. I had a normal job, but I combined it with a second job, because it would be difficult to go on vacation if I only had my ordinary job. With our ordinary jobs my husband and I pay the mortgage, the bills and the food, but when we have paid those things there isn't much money left for other things and it hard to save up money for travelling. I am happy that I was able to get a second job and save up money for travelling.

Yes doing some odd job or part time job to supplement income is good idea as long there is time and good health.Surely one family have to keep emergency money for health sickness and also for education of the children in the future.Beside that have to invest in saving for old age and retirement.All this need money.As thing gets more expensive but income is still the same , part time job is a must.

I may as well try to engage in a small business like a mini grocery in the community, or if I have a space, backyard poultry and a marginalized vegetable plantation.

working is not solely for money. it's also for self-actualization, sharpen your skills, and share your knowledge in order to be useful for people. If I still have spare time, I would get another job :)

For me, it's a great benefit to have more jobs for my family.If there's opportunity why not getting another job for the benefits of you family.

Only few would agree that they're actually contended on what they have.Getting "just enough" for me i think is not enough to be honest.Living life as it comes is I guess for the fortunate ones.Feels more comfortable to think that you're ready for tomorrow as well rather than settle for the feeling of present comfort.IF you get the chance to cultivate what you have-then go for it.But for those who don't think and feel they're comfortable and secured-step out and keep rollin'.

There is no doubt that I would get another job.As a Chinese man,I graduated from college last year.I have to depend on myself and feed myself.However,I need to make more money.I need to purchase a big house and a car,for it is of great difficult to marry a girl if a man in China can't offord a house and a car.This sounds very realistic!!!

Depends if my kids were school aged. I'm an at SAHM right now and we make ends meet and have money left over. I homeschool our13 yr old and we have a 2 1/2 year old at home as well. I prefer to stay home at least until she is three. When i go back to work i will be looking for a job that is either extremely flexible, is only part time or allows me to work when my husband is home. We live frugally so we can go do fun things. Our tax return, for example, goes to paying off bills and is split between a few accounts so we have money for emergencies and doing fun things.we take advantage of free days at parks, buy year passes for things we go to all the time (like the zoo), ect.

It all depend son the couple , if the one working have no problem with the other one staying home I see why not and If the one staying home rather staying home and not missing the work life they should stay home . Personally I hate staying home and not having much to do but I also hate going to work some times lol Some times I just want to lay in bed all day instead of getting up early . A part time job would be a nice touch to really give you a little extra . In time like these we always have to be prepare for the worse so getting a part time job is not a bad idea because you can save the money for emergency and that vacation .

You should try to get a job if you think you'd be able to do that. If you don't think you'd be able to handle two jobs you should just stay home.

Actually you "enough" is not enough at all in this society cause life can not just about food and rent,some entertainment are necessary for our life and other stuff are needed as well. And even it is really enough,I also think have a job is necessary,without a job you will be eliminate by this society,and you will feel can not catch the pace of our generation.

great question. It is actually a problem in modern society. I think you should spend times staying at home and helping your children doing homework, going out with your friends. It will more useful for your relationships. good luck

I would surely try to look for a job.Although it's good to think for the best,you must take into consideration the fact that she could get sick or fired. To top that,as a bonus,if you work,it's more money for you all.
