I have mentioned in my previous posts that I am a wife, a mother, a sister, a daughter and a breadwinner in the family. Apart from being a public school teacher from Monday-Friday, I also have been working as a tutor every Saturday and Sunday. And, almost every night, I use all my remaining energy for some online jobs in which I got scammed from most of them. Unfortunately, I can't still make both ends meet. I am still in huge debt and has difficulty in providing my family's day to day expenses. What should I do? Are there any other more means? Any piece of advice, please?

is your husband working, too? since you're already sidelining as a tutor, does he have a sideline, too?
can other family members also help in earning money - have a garage sale, sell food or drink?

@hereandthere Thank you for this advice. I might try this at home.

@Bhadine i see. then a small home-based business would probably help, like having a garage sale and selling food, even if it's just for breakfast or afternoon snacks. the kids can also help. even if it's just twice a week.

Maybe you can try to make a family budget and try to figure out which expenses can be cut.

I have been a teacher too. I was able to make things run easy by cutting non priorities expenses. My wife is very of that.

M.-L. gives some good suggestions. You can try to take surveys for a little extra cash. And, of course, MyLot.
