29 shifts in a row

[u/OGQueenofUSA]

I have a job but I sometimes try to make extra money on the side,I saw a tiktok where a nurse was working 29 shifts in a row and at the end she had a extra $14,000, a friend just got a roommate, another friend picks up PRN shifts at another hospital instead of doing over time I'm wondering what are some cool ways you guys.

I'm crunching the numbers and $40/hr is plenty reasonable for DINKs to live a comfortable life. Not extravagant, but weekly date nights and yearly vacations would be well within our budget without overtime.

Yep. People talk about how $35/hr is “bad pay,” but I always just assume that’s coming from a HCOL area. My $35/hr at 37.5 hrs/week plus my husband’s half-income (roughly $20k/year) is more than enough. We own our home and two cars, we go on 2-3 vacations/year, we have a comfortable savings account, we’re paying off our student debt, we’re investing in our retirements… perks of living in a LCOL area.
