It is, your steady income is like a man's life jacket which he wouldn't want to take off for anything except he can see a much better alternative. i can definitely relate to this, my present job is my steady source of income, even though the pay is not as appealing as i would have wanted it but it pays the bill and comes in constantly on a monthly basis.
I think everyone wants to have a secured steady income that you are 100% sure off regardless of the size. It gives a sense of confidence and peace.

your earnings is fine but if you can't keep any welfare fund for the future then you can't take care of your family even if you have many sources of income. So spend your fixed income wisely and try to meet the basic needs of the family. Financial planning is a generator for life which is a prudent provision to protect against the uncertainties of life which may permanently affect the financial security of an individual and his dependents. Sufficient time and money must be spent to meet the financial needs of survival. Therefore, it is a good decision for the individual to create enough savings for the near future, distant future and the near future.

Here steady income job is not the matter. The goodness lies on how you keep funds allocated for emergency and unexpected needs. How you allocated fund for medical insurance and retirement. One thing most people unaware of is the planning. Whenever you have the wrong plan, you gonna end it badly. This could make you work throughout your life. Proper planning lets you enjoy life through proper investment, early retirement and good savings to meet unexpected needs. Amidst the salary earned it is good to plan well with what you earn.
It's not easy, of course, and requires really good management,with the prices of basic necessities that continue to rise, of course it is not an easy job to be able to manage even limited money,
but regardless of whatever it is, everyone needs to have awareness to plan.
Not an easy but doable if you are good in managing you finance, and attach to that you also need to find additional ways to earn money, we do have a different range of financial earnings and different as well with our needs to support, a matter of good money management and how you plan ahead of time.
We have our own ways to survive and have our own ways to provide with the needs of our families, though we all or most of us have the same passion to be financially free when chance knock our door.

I mentioned somewhere that my closest friend has been unemployed for over a year due to the devastating collapse of his line of business and and his wife's sickness. Last time we met was a month ago and he was depressed in certain ways which worried me a lot. I called him to see if he was fine last Sunday and he told me he was looking for jobs and the next day he would go to several interviews. I was glad to hear that. Last night I called to follow up and he said the interviews were not going well. I aksed why. He told me that nowadays most companies are not doing well, barely making even actually. The interviewers would just say the job is not entitled to any insurance or benefits, what they can offer is a very low base salary and the commission part would be subject to how many sales the employee can bring to their company. My friend was not willing to take any of them because he has a family to feed and his wife's condition is unstable which could need a lot of money for surgery at any time. I understand him and am trying my best to help him find a high-pay job.
My friend's story sends me a signal: no matter how much I earn right now, try to keep my job and souce of income stable. I am also a family man and have responsibilities. Anything bad can also happen to me so I have to be prepared to the unforseen problems, although I am doing fine now. Make hay while the sun shines. If you have any advice for my friend, please let me know. Thank you.
I agree with you a steady source of income is a mans bottom line to support the family. I am also a breadwinner despite the fact that i have a regular job i do still find other option to be able to sustain the needs of my family because the salary from my regular job is not enough to compensate our daily needs. It is really hard to find a good job with a better compensation and benefits i think it is because of the inflation happening all over the world. But I do still apply to other company while i am keeping my regular job. If i will be accepted to other company with a better opportunity, salary and benefits i will give up my regular job. In my own opinion your friend should accept any kind of job and choose the better offer and just find other side jobs that can sustain their needs, because if he would stay unemployed from the time being how will his family survive in this time of needs?

If we don't do something at the right time then our situation may be different at some point. People's needs are increasing day by day. Moreover, it is not unusual to accept any undesirable situation. It is not unusual for those who have fixed salary jobs to run into major financial problems if their income is not regular. All of us should first of all keep our income stable through our job or any profession. If the income can be kept stable then any small matter can be solved easily. Of course every person should be given more importance about their income.when it comes to living because prices of needs and services is really that increasing day by day on which it would really be that resulting on having that very struggle life. If you are having a family then it would really be that normal that you should really be finding ways on having more extra income if you do find that you day job salary isnt really that sufficient anymore. You wouldnt really be able to get away from that struggle
if you wont really be making out such act or movement on which finding up ways to make yourself that having that extra income. Yes, its hard but you would really be needing to act
because if you dont then you would really be able to feel out those effects later.

I think the salary would depend on the experience at this point your friend have his own business before so with that experience probably he could land a minimum or higher pay for sales, and the incentives is actually one of the best thing for doing sales since you're getting a commission and most of the time these incentives are highly depends on your sale. If he can't find any job he can accept the sales job offer even though it was low pay but he could just depend on the incentives.
I mean you just need to save and invest every time you earn a good amount of money or profit, mostly I save and invest a high percentage of my salary and I spend a very low percentage with that I can assure that my savings and investment is always bigger than my spending. If you really want to earn millions what you need to get there fast is just to have a lot of income, so your gonna need a lot of income from different investments, like maybe you could invest in something that brings you income, like passive income. It's going to be difficult but it's easy to get there if you already have multiple incomes.

I think everything starts small first. yes, maybe your friend has tried but is constrained by the amount of salary that will be obtained when he works later. Yes. what you say makes sense. try to hold on and don't resend in a hurry before an opportunity comes that is definitely on target. I think that's what I can take the implied message.
It's called a need, it is born and continues to be born and must be fulfilled especially if one of our family members is in a bad condition in terms of health like your friend's condition. The solution is to keep trying again and don't give up in the middle of the road because I'm sure everything that happens to all of us here is not a coincidence.

In this time of escalating prices, you should find ways to increase your income so that you are always proactive in spending and easily overcome financial difficulties. If you have only one main source of income, it is easy to fall into financial difficulties. So learning a new skill from your own work is a way to make money and is the key to making you more successful. If your main job still has a lot of time left over, choosing a part-time job is also a very good way to increase income. It's especially relevant if you haven't been able to get a raise or move into higher-paying jobs. These jobs you will not need to do long-term nor look far.
July 03, 2023, 08:44:41 AM
I'm really sorry to hear about your friend's tough situation. It's understandable that he's hesitant to take a job without proper benefits and stability, especially with his wife's health concerns. It's great that you're supporting him in his job search. One piece of advice I have is to explore alternative options like freelancing or remote work, which might offer more flexibility and potential for higher pay. Encourage him to network, update his resume, and consider any transferable skills he may have. Remind him to stay positive and persistent.
If he is inexperienced and has limited skills, it is really difficult to find remote work, but again, hardship and patience are really required, as you can't get hired in just one night unless you have outstanding skills. Also, one of the problems is that he has a family, and he needs money so that he can feed them, so he has no time to waste, and those choices of job he needs to take while finding another better job. This is not the time to be choosy; grab what you can and feed your family, then find another job that you want, and if you get hired, resign from your old job that you don't like.

It's indeed hard to find a high paying job unless you have a great skills or background that would worth a high value of salary. But if you're really desperate, maybe it's fine to accept those job offers he have since he needed the money immediately for his family. He also need to find another source of income or a part time if possible. It could be exhausting but you need to make sacrifices. Remote works are also effective since it gives you flexibility. Because if you really need to save up money for a short period of time, you also need to manage your time so it won't be wasted.

A steady source of income makes a lot of sense only if the paycheck is very big, if you are an average salary earner you won't be happy with what you are making, so, multiple source of income is much more better than anything, if money is flowing in from right and left you will be able to take care of your family and do things that you are not able to do for them before, also you will be able to invest some money for the future sake of you and your family.
Make sure you are not pushing things too fast too, I mean if you have managed up to two jobs, let it be just two, if you go three jobs it might not be healthy for you.
It is very important to have more than one source of income. In addition to the main job, it is important for us to have a side job that can provide us with additional income. which makes it easier for us to manage finances because we have enough to use and also to save.Make sure you are not pushing things too fast too, I mean if you have managed up to two jobs, let it be just two, if you go three jobs it might not be healthy for you.
But indeed we should not overwork. because health is also an important thing that we must take care of. which means we have to have a balance between work and rest time.

That is true no matter how much you earn right now every family man should try make their source of income stable because we never know until when we are going to have our regular job. A steady source of income is a crucial in supporting a family need regardless of gender. As we all know that the cost of living is rising rapidly, it is essential to have a regular income to meet our basic needs and also our family. With the effect of inflation all over the world a lot of people not only your friend suffered from lay off. I hope your friend could find another source of income to be able to sustain the needs of his family. He can try do apply for an online jobs and be patient to search for one.
The problem right now is that it is really difficult to find a stable job. Even for me, that is really what I want, as before I lost multiple jobs, with which my family really struggles a lot. That is why right now I settle more on a stable job than a high-paying one, because even if you want to grab the high-paying one, if, let's say, in a few years you'll get laid off, that is really useless, unlike having a secured one, which means that you have job security at that time, and you just add some side hustle to have another source of income.

A steady source of income makes a lot of sense only if the paycheck is very big
How big are we talking about though? There are people out there that's earning more than livable wage in my country but they still do side hustles. I don't think that it even make sense having only one source, I think that with the ever increasing inflation and the price of goods and services ever increasing, I think that the norm is having more than one source of income. Also, a steady source of income isn't half bad if you are only sustaining yourself, sounds contradictory to my first opinion but I think it's the truth, a steady source of income no matter how meager it is, if you don't have any responsibilities besides yourself, it's good enough.

So the term is don't be monotonous and just stay silent when you have a job. Even though it must be packed with work schedules, try to start something new on the sidelines of the busy work. Want it to open a shop, or with other fields. And don't forget to keep saving and investing, because I consider these two factors important and mandatory in my life, and will definitely come in handy in emergencies.
With life getting more and more difficult, the cost of living is increasing day by day, and having a source of income can never be guaranteed, even if it is a high income. Indeed, we should have 2 to 3 sources of income these days because the unexpected can happen at any time. Although it will take us longer and be more tiring, for the sake of our families and to ensure the safety of our families, we need to make sacrifices.
No matter what job we do, we can't do it all our life, when we get old, no one will hire us, or we will no longer have the strength to do it. So I also agree with you, any man should have savings and investments. It is a must have, and it will be beneficial when we are old and can no longer work.
Here in my country, as you said the cost of living is increasing day by day. Which is true as inflation rises the value of products increases but you know what's the worst part? The salary of average working man still remain the same as a result, they couldn't even save money or invest. My thoughts about this is that never ever make a family if you're not ready yet, because those bare minimum salary only sufficient to one person. If you're living alone then you might save some money to invest so when the time comes you already have some backup money for you to support your family.
Not only in your country, but I believe it is happening everywhere in the world, and only low income people feel and are affected the most. But on the issue of salary increase, I know many people are very upset with the policy of no salary increase of the government. But in my opinion, when commodity prices increase due to global inflation and if the government also raises wages immediately, national inflation will also grow faster and be more difficult to control. Therefore, the salary increase will usually only be considered carefully before deciding. And as I said, each person should have 2 to 3 sources of income as the only solution to inflation.

Why not take advantage of the offer, it is better than not having any income at all. then while on the job, he can continue his quest to find a high-paying job. It is also an additional point to have experience in his coming job if he decided to accept one of the jobs offered to him.
Just think of the scenario, your friend keeps on looking for a job while not being employed. This means your friend will soon exhaust his finances because there are no means of replenishment of his fund. So I advice your friend to accept one of the job offers which he thinks has the most benefits for him while continuing to look for a better job. It is better than nothing at all.
