another part time job!
I just got another part time job! Sadly that means my schedule will look something like...
Mon, Tues, Wed I work 7AM to 4PM and 5PM to 11PM
Thurs off
Friday is work from 5PM to 11 PM
Sat and Sun will be 9AM to 12 PM and 4 PM to 11 PM.
I am already completely overwhelmed but it means we can pay off his SL in time around Christmas next year and I then we can start TTC and it will all be worth it! 467 days!

Re: another part time job!
That sounds like A LOT but with an end in sight and a specific goal, it's doable. I know several people who have taken on ridiculous schedules in the short term (whether multiple jobs or full time job + full time student) for a specific amount of time. I'd be concerned if you were planning to keep that schedule in the long time, but for me, if it meant TTC sooner, I would take it on in a heart beat. Totally worth it.
One of these jobs is school year only including almost 6 weeks total off when the students head home for holidays. I know I am going to be burnt out but we want a baby so badly and me only having the nights and weekend job was setting us too far back. It is going to be really hard and I am hoping my boss will give me all day friday in exchange for one weeknight so I am not stretched too thinly.
I will be counting down the days for a few reasons haha. Some rest and ttc!

But your amazing goal at the end will help keep you motivated. Good luck.

DH works full time in Alumni Relations at a wonderful private high school! He works as a soccer and hockey coach, part time dorm parent, and travels 5 four day trips this year. A part time job is just not in the cards for him which is fine with me.
Because of him we live rent free in a dorm building and have no utility bills. We only pay a cell phone, car insurance and student loans. We are incredibly fortunate and this is why we will be able to pay off over 24,000 in loans so quickly. If we are lucky we will be able to budget even tighter once I settle into this new job and make it go even faster!
