The best way to supliment your income is to find ways to save money. Every penny you can save is one you never needed to come up with. I clip coupons and work long and hard to make our families one income go as far as it will. We make less than a lot of people but we have a lot more to show for it. The biggest money saver for us is food. I stock up when it is on sale and buy enough for a year or so depending on its shelf life. That way everything I buy is on sale. It has saved us a ton. The trouble is finding places to put it all.

You can find a part time job, work for the schools system in some other manner - substitute teaching, working in the office.
