A dollar you avoid spending is like earning $1.25.

Got any office skills? I worked for Kelly as a temp. That was 20 years ago. Even easier now, with a cellphone. A lot of temp agencies are national. Once you are on their register, you call into the local office whenever you want an assignment. I had computer, bookkeeping and tax prep skills. Physical inventory or computer drafting are useful skills.

I have a friend who uses temp agencies for day-labour across the country and he is had some great luck with them. I'm sorry, I don't remember the name of the company.

Beware the temp agencies (Kelly, Manpower, etc). My wife was a traveling nurse. Since these were short term assignments, I did a lot of temp work. I had a stint in Austin, TX with one. We clicked so well I ended up staying for 20 years!!

I haven't been in the service so I know nothing about it but have heard others say the same. Its a crime to pay someone who has served that small amount. I wont say more as it would be political.

We're still stuck in the city until we can pay off our student loan debts. I am an electrical engineer working in a "big fancy corporate cubicle farm." I hate every minute of it, but the large pay checks are the quickest escape route for us.
