Second job?

Hey,
Just wondered how many on here have second jobs and what you do? Wanting to earn some extra cash to save for a rainy day.
Thanks.

I am a lone parent, I work FT and have a second job and it was at first to help me have some disposable income but since my mortgage went up by the exact amount I earn extra each month it now goes on that which, frankly, is gutting.

I do freelance work the same as my day job exclusively for one client at the weekend and evenings. I have no time to do more freelance work but I so wish it was ‘extra’ money rather than exclusively interest rate rise money.

I'm a single mum of young adults. I switched my job to compressed hours over 4 days, giving me a free week day, and took a second contract in the same field, as a freelancer, so 6 days work in five. Started off just doing short contracts, five days at a time, then one kept getting extended. Two years later I've just resigned from it, but it did make all the difference financially during difficult times. However now I've stopped I'm aware how tired I got, and am really glad its over for now.

can you drive and do you have a car? Some people recommend Amazon Flex. Delivering parcels but only when it suits your schedule.
