Increasing Income:
Talk to your boss about getting a raise
One of the best things you can do is approach your boss and explain that you need to make more money.
Ask what else you could take on that you could get paid to do.
Often there are financial opportunities right under your own nose, in your current employment
Get a second job
The next best option is to get a second job, or have your partner work in the evenings when you can be home, etc.
We often need to work a second job until we can pay off debt, which frees up cash flow.
Don’t be afraid to take on a second job for a period of time.
