What are your priorities in life?

My priority in life is service. I try to work everything around it but later on, I find that though we already find our priority, your need would keep on bugging you. For instance, I have a regular work and I use my salary to sustain my activities for social services. However, the social services requires more than what I can give. And so I applied for additional work online as a freelancer. But I get another problem, I now lack time to spend for the evening meetings of our club. Hahaha... Funny, but the meeting and the extra job seems equal in importance. How will you resolve this dilemma?

My priorities in life is my family, health and work.. my family serves as my motivation to work harder and save for the future. and for me to do that i should have a good health. well set mind and body combined. It is easy as to tell the social services of how much you are only earning in a month and what your expenses are. so from there they can set a baseline from you of how much will only be asked from your earnings.

Thanks for your input francescacunanan. That's a good advice too. I don't actually share my income. But maybe, I can tell them how much I can share so that they will not ask me for commitments that I cannot make. Regards.

I pay my admiration to you dear snowhybiscuis. Currently my life priority is my job and the small family made up by my bf and me. We both are trying our best to do our regular work well while trying to find out other ways to get extra payment. However, it seems to be very hard to get part-time job for extra payment. We've spent a lot of time on it yet no returns yet. If you could introduce us some ways to earn extra payment, we would be greatly appreciated! waazula.com

Hi waazula. I thank you for your comment and sharing your insights. Yes, I do know some ways on how you could earn extra. However, it would mean spending extra time doing freelance work. I get freelance work from Odesk. I bid for data entry jobs that are easy to do so that I would not need to get so exhausted thinking much. I used to write. However, it would be too difficult if you are not in your elements. I mean I need to be inspired to really write good and lengthy articles. You can also get job from freelancers.com. However, the Odesk offers better pay than freelancers. Goodluck!
