Life is crazy and I think that is something we can all agree on. I know I am probably preaching to the choir when I say that it can be hard and hectic trying to balance a social life, family, and work. I’m sure your friends understand that you are a busy adult working 30+ hours a week and that it is tricky to find times to hang out. But what happens when you have two jobs? I have friends who work two jobs and get about 60+ hours between the both, yet they still have time to hang out with friends and family. That seems impossible but after getting a second job, the reality is that making plans around 60+ hours a week isn’t impossible after all. At least, it doesn’t have to be.

So, like I said, I work many hours a week. I thought I would never see my friends or family but again but it is more manageable than you would think. I work at a grocery store 4 days a week and I am a waitress on the other days. I can pick up hours that work around my schedule so it is manageable. Luckily for me, I wear the same pants and shoes to each job so it makes it easier when I must work at both locations back to back. However, I am not "rolling in dough". People say that the more you make the more you spend and they’re right. I make good money but of course I “treat myself” to stuff I like because since I make more money, I guess I should blow it all in one place. The truth is, I am liking spending money on myself without feeling guilty. Being a waitress, I enjoy making cash tips that I can walk away with each night. I enjoy keeping myself busy throughout the week and it just makes it so much better when I do get the chance to spend time with my friends and family.
