I've worked a second job a number of times - out of need, not for the greed of money. In the last year and a half or so, I have lost a long time job at age 59 unexpectedly. For 6 months I used savings to stay afloat until finding the summer only seasonable position here in Ohio. Thru connections there, I had what I thought was a good fill in job for this winter, until I kept with it for over a month before realizing I wasn't going to get paid for my initial marketing of his business. Therefore I lost out on another possibility or two, which went to others. I've managed to get some help locally, and an odd job here and there, but prep for the summer work can't begin here until March or April. My savings are nearly exhausted, as well as any other options, a short term dilemma, but a dilemma never the less. Then, to top that bad luck off, my bank account got compromised in the past month, and despite some waiving of fees by my banker, the account is still currently in the negative. As I mentioned, I've always been self-sufficient and am not a freeloader. I want to work more on short stories and a book and spend enough adequate quality time with 6 grandkids. I just need some one time assistance to cover some expenses and get through February and part of March. Not looking at all for any huge amount, $3,000 or less please.
