I am officially back on my shoebox grind. Over the past few weeks I have made some moves to make a secondary income stream start flowing, albeit quite small right now, it is a start. I sold a few items on EBay last week and made a total of $77.65, after shipping costs it will be about $60 which ain't too shabby for selling items that were just sitting around the house.
Basketball season started up which means games needed referees! I got a phone call last Friday on my day off to ref games last Saturday and Sunday. I did four games total, two on Saturday and two on Sunday, and I walked out with a cool $120 in cash! If you can not see me, do not worry, I am smiling ear to ear! I have a good feeling that I am going to be getting games every weekend because there is a large demand for referees for the CYO levels. My hope is that I get so many games that it will be hard to manage the time, but somehow, someway, I will make it work and do every single game I am offered.
I do not view reffing as a job at all. I am a basketball junkie and have definitely found a job that I love where it does not feel like I am working at all. I am basically being paid to be in the gym and I will choose that over sitting at a desk any day of the week ladies and gentleman.
I want to hear your story if from the people who get paid to do what they absolutely LOVE! What do you do with that side income? Mine is going directly in my shoebox under my bed (If it gets stolen I will know you read about it on here!).
Anyways, keep working hard everyone, today is a good day because I finally can say that I am working hard everyday of the week now to move towards a brighter financial future. This is just the beginning. Be easy.

Wish I could be a part-time ref-I know nothing about sports so it would be a diaster! Right now, I don't do much for a 2nd income other than selling some stuff here and there on ebay and craigslist.
i work at my yoga studio, though i don't get paid for it. but i do get free classes, and discounts on merch and workshops. i estimate that i save about $100 a month or so on classes alone (a monthly pass would be $100), plus i get to meet some really cool people who motivate me to get to class. :) and the job itself involves checking people in and tidying up, so it's low key and conducive to making friends. :)
I am a full time Child Care Director, but I just made some "shoebox money" building a website, I've got another one lined up as well. It's all going into my savings.
just the beginning my man, just the beginning. keep doing your thang, while i'm here drinking my bud light :) in a can. be easy brotha.
