The other girl I work with kept asking me why I work so many jobs. I was telling her I was looking for a part time job for the last few days of the week. She is 19 and really has nothing other than a cellphone to pay for. I told her I dont have that luxury and I want to move out so I pay all the bills then put so much away. Ive always worked numerous jobs since I was about 14. Im sure I will for years to come as well. I cant sit at home kknowing I can be making money, even here as well. So I am looking and hopefully find something.

Some people aren't made to work so much. Now I'm not going to lie and say I am made to work much as I know that I am not, however I also have had two jobs at the same time before, so I do know atleast a little bit about what it's like. Still even though I myself can't really handle so many jobs at once, I do respect those who can. There are many people who work all the time, they aren't happy unless they are doing something. That's great, the more power to them and as long as they can keep stress down, they tend to be more healthy as well. I see nothing wrong with working many jobs, you just seem to be surrounded by people who don't, who only have a few things to pay and don't need the job, don't need the money.

There are just people who can't and refuse to understand other people's situation. I believe this is so because they have been given everything they have, all else is easy with their life, they never have to work for what needs to be paid, everything is easy and given to them without so much as to lifting a finger. You do not need to explain to these people, it is their issue that they cannot be sensitive and understand that life is not the same for everyone. I think you can just try to ignore her and whatever he/she is trying to ask of you.

If you can do it, there's no reason you shouldn't. The more money you make, the faster you will be able to afford what you want, and you will be out in your own space.

I agree completely, the more money the easier it is for me. I just most people are lazy, and dont think the same way. They would rather sit at home, relax, and not earn what they want instead put it into their debt.

I think that the reason that there are so many people that don't understand why there are other people that have to work a lot more is because of the fact that they came from a family that had a different kind of background than our families had. You see, I am one of those people that did used to work two jobs just so that we were able to make ends meet. However, many people that I went to school with had mommy and daddy to take care of them and that did mean that they really didn't spend a lot of time working.

Going out and working outside is more fun what when we do it alone. While some want to stay home and some have to stay home they use this opportunistic of earning online is a best option for them. For others there is more to offer outside than what they can inside with PC alone.

Hi Ricki people are people so its hard to know she cannot comprehend working several jobs to make money to one day soon have your own apartment or trailer., Young at 19 I imagine and not yet got your great work ethic. You will find something soon and start storing up more funds.

I think it is best to be young and have a vision, than to be young with no ambition. I was like that 19 year old girl you are talking about. I didn't think much of earning and saving money, because I had my parents to depend on. But then, I had a job and started to realize that things could even get better if I work a little harder and not to be dependent on semi- monthly paychecks. I chose to invest and explore. Like, lately, I discovered there are so many opportunities online. I applied and was accepted at a writing site. I joined myLot. Tried HYIPs (don't try them hehe).Tried blogging. Tried transcribing. A little extra hours to do these didn't bother me much. Just budget your time. I think I have it easy because I do field work. If I finish my work early, I can do all these "extra income pursuits."

Hi 911Ricki, I have also had a job since I was 14 years old. Some people don't understand that working and working hard is the only way we may get those luxury things we want so much. Lots of people are just handed things or things come to them easier and others have to work their butts off to get those things. The harder we work to get those things the more we will appricate them. I commend you for knowing what you want and working hard to get it. I think the world would be a better place if their were more people like that.
