How many of you have to work two jobs to make ends meet?

If I was to get back out there I'd probably have to have two jobs. Not because I can't survive on one income but because my job takes the piss...
For your own personal well being you're better working part time either at two places where you can split your time and earn a full time wage or work there and in a different industry completely.

There are a lot of guys that I'm meeting that are saying they're working two jobs... So they pretty much have the weekends only for friends and one evening for a "casual fling"...
How are you living?

And would you agree its better to couple up if you've met the right person it make things a little easier...
(without it being a "using" them situation)

Honestly I would like to have a part time work, aside from my full time job. I have 2 reasons for this, the major one is to escape to toxicity and unfairness work environment I have with my full time work. It's just that there is now a huge differrence between the management before and now.
I cannot leave this full time job that I have because, this job has personal attachment to me and has great impact to my growth not just in career but as a person too, but things change which started last 2019, and it gets worst up to now, too many factors why.
I might be the best example for a very loyal employee who puts too much of time and effort to work.
I think I have exceeded the expectations set to me by my superiors because from simple clerk now I am the "jack of all trades" of accounting department that's what my manager describes me to the bosses.
The next reason is additional income and to also explore other things, aside from current work set up right now. Currently working on some trainings and hopefully to get a part time in the future.
Or... may be I am in denial, that I need to set myself free from this job that I have right now and this part time thing might be the wake up call that I needed to leave. 🤫

@skymint Don't become emotionally attached or invested in a job. They will use and abuse you.

Always seek out new training and recognized certifications. Keep an eye on new opportunities. Your boss doesn't give a damn about you.
