[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ditto for always working two jobs. I waitress a few night every week after teaching all day. I also tutor and I’ve worked as a summer nanny for years. My kid is in college now and most of what I’ve earned over the years in these jobs is what is now paying for his college. Single moms don’t have a lot of choices so you do what you have to do. I have a rare day off today and it feels luxurious. I’ve been in the OP’s shoes and paid off upwards of $30k in debt. Not easy but doable. I transferred everything to zero interest cards which helped a lot. I negotiated the medical debt down as much as possible. [/quote] How old are you and how long you have been doing two jobs? Kuddos to you for sending your kid to college through your second job, It is not easy but we know what we do for our kids. [/quote] I’ve been tutoring from home since my kids were old enough to occupy themselves for an hour at a time. They were probably 7 and 9 at the time. Maybe 6 and 8. The waitress job started when I could leave them home alone so maybe when they were both in MS. I’m 50 now. I’ll keep waitressing for a few more years to help them get on their feet after college. By now my teaching salary isn’t as low so I’ll be able to afford not working other jobs (although I always work in the summer). [/quote] That's amazing. Not everyone has the commitment to continuously do it and support their families. [/quote]
