I know there are better writers than me, but I thought I'd give this a shot. I'm trying to make ends meet on a teacher's salary with an out of work spouse. Contract work on the side? Already doing that. Online surveys and market research? Doing that too.
I've tapped into everything that I can think of and end up in the hole every month; so, I'll try this too.
At least once a week I will post about my adventures in trying to make ends meet. Making the mortgage, buying groceries a week before payday, miscellaneous emergencies that always seem to rear their ugly heads when it's not convenient (the kid's fundraisers or household disasters).
Visit often!
