Thankfully I have a pretty flexible "part time" job, but the downside to that is I don't get a whole lot of money.<br /><br />With my personal relationships I go for the 50/50 rule. If I backed out of the party, get together, whatever for working once, the next time I go - especially if I don't have to pay much/anything. That way I can work down the debt and still keep my relationships. I don't want to be a Scrooge with all the money in the world, but no friends to enjoy life with. =)Dr. Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15657277209564654877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2441525864894506013.post-46811833766713813052009-04-09T11:26:00.000-07:002009-04-09T11:26:00.000-07:00I know what you mean.

It was exhausting! When I was in grad school, I was working 6-7 days a week (full time job, and I'd pick up extra shifts at my second job as often as possible). Combined with my thesis and classes, plus a long distance relationship, it was tough! <BR/><BR/>But this second job has put you in a golden spot, so it's totally worth it for a while :-) Just not forever.savingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14241607615664885087noreply@blogger.com
