Are people now desperate to earn money?

True, people are quite desperate to earn money and it is hard to earn money nowadays. If you are in business, clients are hard to find. Those who are in food business, though they still earn, are still struggling to meet their goal. Some people even message me on Instagram offering their services. I understand their desperation. Most people are affected by this crisis. By the end of June, my husband's company has a job offer to me and though I hate paper works, I think I will accept it for some additional income. My husband will be my boss if ever and we will work in the same office. I cannot afford to refuse such offer especially now that time is unpredictable.

@hereandthere It's a lot harder to work together than to live together as wife and husband. All people I know who worked together will confirm.

It's better to work if you can. Every dollar counts. I may not make much here, but every cent I earn pays for a bill. So, that's helpful.

@Janet357 If we develop healthy spending habits, then we wouldn't need to worry about what we can afford.

this can be a test to see how well you work together, if you're okay with going back to office work/office schedule and if the work/boss relationship continues at home/weekends/holidays. and if it doesn't work out, are you allowed to resign?

I think so. I would love to work again, but I have to get some medical stuff under control first. Sadly, we aren't getting a stimulus which sucks. I am doing my best to get my writing going again.

It is not easy everywhere. However, I feel opportunity still exists like when I started working over forty five years ago. With technology going places, those who can cut the mustard can earn well. Good for you.

Now, only the rich become richer and poor poorer. Opportunities become more limited to ordinary people like us.

Of course we are all looking for money, especially during this pandemic economic activity has slowed down because of the many restrictions imposed by the government, even many companies have laid off their employees so that they can continue to survive during the pandemic, we have to do many ways to raise money so that in the future the situation getting better we have a solid foundation to support the economy again, we really have to collect as much money as possible

You are still lucky to get job offers, many have lost their jobs or been laid off.

This is what I always think. That's why even if paper works is not my forte, I will grab it so that i can save more.

This time is indeed hard for everyone, but more so for those who are without jobs or opportunities to secure one. You are fortunate for being bestowed this offer, I hope you like it. Good luck!

None of us know what will happen in the near future so it's probably a good idea to take the job for the moment.
