I've Taken a Part Time Job to Reach My Goals

So we are a family that lives pay check to pay check for the most part.  I've been trying to save $500 -$600 each month recently  but it just isn't enough.   My wife isn't to happy about it but the $10 per hour on Saturday will help. 

To close on my last property I took out a title loan on my truck which is killing me!  Taking the part time job will enable me to get that SUPER HIGH interest rate loan knocked out and start putting that $$$ toward the next rental and two new roofs this summer.

My wife and I live in North Jersey and have student loans, so even though we make pretty good money I can only manage to put $1,000 away after all our bills, my investments and fun money.  I found your post very inspiring as we keep finding it hard to pull the trigger feeling like we don't have enough of a safety blanket, but you're really going for it!  I hope it all works out!
