Sometimes, when you are making more money, you are not necessarily spending it in a smarter way. It is one of the very few occasion where being laid off was a good thing! Chris, I agree with you.

After I was going to be laid off from the second job, a realization had come to me. That my second job was basically allowing me to pay for a bad habit (alcohol), and gas for the car. I had originally taken the job so that I could afford to payoff credit cards, etc. Unfortunately, my bad habit didn't allow me to see that minimum amounts were still being paid on the CC debt, but my partying was increasing. During that time, any sane person would have told me that I was an alcoholic (and I was - more so out of self-pity). Once I was laid off, I found out that concentrating on one job, and doing things better than were expected was much more rewarding, both emotionally and financially.

When you have a determined goal, it is always much easier but still, it requires a lot of courage. Bravo! Do you rent your room to a student? It seems to be a decent way of making money with minimum effort! Sick, wow 3 jobs is pretty impressive!

I learned #3 and #4 very well at the school of hard knocks, lost my primary job a year ago in part due to working in the evenings and being too tired. The way I work it now is that I limit myself to just a couple of hours in the evenings and on Saturday, leaving Sunday as much as possible free to relax. The two side-jobs are things I enjoy, help my career, flexible, and I see the fruits of my labor. Our goal with me working this is to get us out of CC debt. Once that's gone, I'm coming home baby! One other tip for someone just doing it for the money, find something you can do that takes minimal time, yet gets you the maximum $ (eg: we rent rooms out of our home).
