      I did this while at my poorest. It’s literally how I climbed out. My ratchet-ass cousin just did this last month, and she is perpetually trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents. My ex-teacher friend is currently doing it too. Anyone at any income level can just keep an eye out for opportunity.

      You work one job while looking for better opportunities elsewhere, then quit and go elsewhere, rinse and repeat. Fastest way to increase your earnings, period, and way better in terms of QOL.

        I hadn’t considered that your experience is the only valid one and nobody can have a different one than yours. Such a convincing argument you have there.

          It’s not an argument, but an anecdote. I assure you that anything I can do, another person can do.

          What I don’t understand is why you seem vested in being hopeless about your own future.
