I would not recommend it unless you sit down and figure how much it will cost. I blew 20,000 miles in only 6 months. I plan to start a business! Now is a great time to not be burdened by the economy or your boss. Think about starting small as a loan is hard to get if you are in debt. People can make money and you may turn it into a full time job later and be rich. An example I see in Alaska (where I live) are little shack portables that sell coffee. Why? When it is -30 you do not want to leave your car for a Starbucks and a portable at a mini-mall can give you hot coffee fresh. This is cheap to start. I plan on making a website to earn some extra money. I have a second job at Taco Bell as a backup at nights and it is grueling but if any of my ideas take off I can quit. :-) I lost money delivering catering services in gas and automobile wear and tear and very long commutes.

I get to bed at 2am the following morning. My kids are little and are up at 7ish on the weekends so I get up with them. I don't have a lot a time to spend with them, so I give up sleep to be able to be with them. My first job is in the Automotive industry, and I run a 3 shift maintenance crew so I have to be there by 5:45 to work with my 3rd shifters and say until 5 or so at night to work with my 1st and 2nd shifters (I leave at 4 on Fridays). I'm on call 24 hours/7 days a week. I get calls all the time, but usually can solve them on the phone. I've had to leave the pizza job once due to an explosion at my factory, otherwise my bosses and co-workers know that I deliver so they do their best to leave me alone. I work the weekends sometimes too, those are long days!! When you want something bad enough, the human spirit will do almost anything to get it. I want to be debt free so I can get on with my life, so I'm working hard to get there. My family is very supportive and my wife takes care of everything that I can't. I don't know how old you are, but I'm 34. Thanks for your comment.

I assume your first job has hours which are about 7-4, and then you do your pizza job 5 - 1. How do you have the energy to be awake for about 22 hours straight? (I'm assuming you get up at 5 and go to bed at 3.) I also assume you are younger than I am. I also assume that your first job does not require overtime or irregular hours. If your first job were, say, retail, you might have different hours each week and not be able to arrange the schedules at your 2 jobs to be compatible. I work in the computer field and I never know whether I will leave at 4:30 or...8 p.m. Plus I am on-call with a beeper and must respond to work "emergencies," which I wouldn't be able to do if I were out delivering pizzas. Fortunately I don't have debt, but if I did, a second job would be impossible. Good for you that you can do it. I assume you sleep in on Saturday mornings at least, and probably Sunday mornings as well. I hope your kids don't have events on those mornings (which you will miss). Dear Pizza Delivery Guy,

Everyone thinks I'm crazy for doing what I do. It's simple, I choose to work hard now so I can grow my wealth later. They choose to spend now and pay for it the rest of their lives. I can only imagine some of those comments about the e-book. I'm sure many people downloaded it thinking you solved the magic secret of making money. Too bad they were presented with 52 options FOR work.

Working the two jobs is a huge sacrifice and I'm proud of you for doing it. December isn't that long to wait, so I say just do it. Once the debt is completely gone you'll never have to do it again. I completely understand missing the family, I have two kids under three. I keep going because I know once the debt is gone I can stop. I miss sleep too :-) That's that thing that normal people do at night right??
