Location: Randolph, Utah | How many of you work a second job to help pay for your horses? What do you do? My cows usually supplement my habit but with prices down and some huge vet bills this year it’s pretty tight.
I really hate this adulting crap! ?? |

| I have an office job by day. My co-worker and I were both looking for 2nd jobs so we talked our boss into giving us the office cleaning job after our normal hours. |

Location: Louisiana | The plan for 2018 is to help our local NBHA director with all of her shows. She runs 3 different series plus open added money shows throughout the year.
It should cover my fees and fuel for 2 horses. And I don't plan on entering them all, so the rest I plan to save and put towards NFR 2018. |

| I give lessons on the side =] I highly recommend kids group lessons! I didn't even know there was this much demand for them...and I have not done any advertising! The moms just keep telling other moms, so my group keeps growing! =] |

I sure wish I made what you do. Our coaches are lucky to get $1500. We also don't do weekends.

LOL yea its a pretty good gig. Any teacher can do saturday school. We call it Academic saturday school. THey are sent here for being tardy or truant and they can pick a classroom to go to for learning while being punished. lol They encourage us so the kids have a variety of classrooms to choose from. Goes from 8-12. |

Location: Montana | I've been looking into this too, as my day job pretty much handles the expenses, but I have had some extra expenditures this fall that have made things tight around here too (vet bills, etc.). I'm thinking about getting a seasonal job just for the holidays or doing something from home. |

Location: Illinois | I got a weekend job at the local pumpkin patch for 2 months. Had to miss a couple races, but that's life. I can make around $100 a month on SwagBucks without much effort, but I have gotten pretty lazy with that. Some months when I remember to do it daily I can get $200-300 monthly. I either use it for gift cards places I shop or PayPal. You can give lessons, we get $35 an hour for basic beginner (walking, learning how to steer) lessons. I don't do it bc the barn owner requires me to get insurance and that's $500 a year that I just don't want to fork out up front |

How much time per day were putting in when you were getting $200-$300? |

| I worked at Starbucks for about a year- it wasn't a bad gig and I always worked 5:30- close so I got a TON of sandwiches and food and coffee, which was a blessing because I was BROKE. If I was ever in a position that required it I would go back! |
