Will be going back to school this year so needed to find something with decent hours that wont break me half way through the year.. i see alot of people lately on here saying they were looking for a PT.. so may want to check it out.. just got in at FedEx as a package handler if you like the 3rd shift.. only 3-8 am,which for some reason i love them hours just seem perfect for the schedule i will be having.. part time job but give out full time benefits, cant beat that

I know that when I was flying contract at UPS, the part time sorters @ Louisville were Teamster members and got FULL company benefits. is it the same with FedEx?
 
in any case, congrats on the job.

money is money
 
congrats with the part time job..........add that to your full time job pay, and your gonna be loaded with money in no time
 
 
the great thing about having 2 jobs is when you get off the 2nd job, you are so tired you dont want to go out and kick it (SPEND MONEY)
 
so you will just stack loot........
 
 
tough it out as long as you can gene............congrats on the extra cheese

in all seriousness...make a goal for yourself to save in the next 2 months...2k, 3k whatever it is

half of that should go directly to a money market or some sort of brokerage account

I make six figures (and sorry, it's to rub anyone's face in it....there are PLENTY of people on covers making more money then me and six figures isn't really that glorious) and I am seriously considering getting a part time job......because I honestly don't feel like I save enough money for retirement.

It's a pretty sickening testimony of our lovely economy. 

You can make decent money and still feel like you are going backward. 

I humped freight for over a year at the MSP airport when I was in grad school.  I liked it.  I don't think I was ever in better shape and when you can work and shoot the shit, how bad can that be. 

GL with the new job.

I did that same job at ups for 3 months. I don't know if you have started yet but it is not easy work. Make sure you bring a Gatorade everyday. Lot of people bring water but that doesn't do anything because you will just sweat it out anyways. I hope you don't have a hard trailer with a lot of zip codes because that can become a pain. And always lift with you knees. the last thing you want is to destroy your back. Once you get used to it though it is fine. It is basically a 5 hour workout, and they help with school tuition so you can't beat that. Good Luck

KOAJ is right on.  You always want your money working for you, I don't care how much you have or how much you expect to make on the yearly return.  Wachovia just yesterday ended its good rates but I'm loving the mutual fund that I'm in.  I keep 6k in the bank and everything else I save I just put more in the fund.  I really might want to reduce the 6k backup to maybe 4 or 5k.  So far I'm about 7k in the fund and feeling great.  But the main part KOAJ said to is always set little goals.  I started working two jobs one year ago, and said I wanted to get to 5k, did - then 10k, did and then I took half and opened the fund.

I smash one of them everytime I plan on going to a party anymore.  THey do the trick for me, so I'd give it a shot and see if they work for you.  Dont necessarily taste so great, but they get the job done, plain and simple.

Two jobs !? I could never imagine. When the heck do you get the time to; spend money, get laid, drunk, do drugs, have fun, etc.
