Deliver Pizzas

---

enjoy your time man

I do enjoy my time man. To be honest, its a little fun. It feels a little cool going in to a job like that where there is zero pressure or sadly enough expectations. In a very strange way its mentally relaxing. Sounds weird but its true. This isn't a long time thing. I will have to shut it down around the middle of September because I will be inundated with work for the rest of the year. The goal is to put another 10k in the bank before I have to quit. I really like having the wife at home with our little girl and she does as well. So if I have to drive some pizza around for a few months to help her avoid going back to work, I don't mind doing it at all. The wife is a food scientist and she hasn't be able to land anything worth her going back since we moved back down

I don't but go for it. The world needs more people willing to hustle for a little extra cash.

$15/hr isn't much but it pays better than sitting on your arse watching TV. If you like the work, go get it and laugh at all the people who whine about not being able to find a job.

Thanks for any suggestions; either about tips or other ways to earn some extra cash.

You already have a good job, making 70k annually. In my opinion the best way to pick up some extra cash every month is by spending less money.

Your wife stays at home, so she should become the master of reducing costs for your family. Start with the recurring monthly bills. Cut out any that you don't need and shop the rest of the bills aggressively. If you have any debt call to negotiate interest rates and come up with a plan to aggressively pay down the rest. Be smart with groceries and leftovers and bring lunch to work. Look at any expensive hobbies you have and reduce costs or try out some new hobbies.

I would make sure I did all of that before delivering pizzas. Early in my career I went through a similar phase. I tallied up how much money I was saving every month, and it was ridiculous. Definitely saved more than getting an extra job and used my extra time and energy to get ahead in my career and spend quality time with the family.

Tip money? You consider the value of that to him?

You can smoke pot while delivering pizzas. Its the law.

That's a good point.

$15/hr for a side job where you get to listen to the radio while handing people a box of pizza isn't much?

Not really, no. It might be better to study something that might help at work (PMP cert, for example), do various home improvement stuff, etc. That's tax-free net worth increase right there and you get to stay at home with the family too. Or figure out ways to cut expenditures.

But I'm not knocking making a "little extra cash", more people should take that attitude.

Wise move picking up a side job. I am a chaffeur for a hotel on weekends. This has allowed me to pay off two credit cards and greatly increase my 401k contributions at my primary employer. Just make sure you take this time to invest more of your primary income in tax-deferred vehicles now that you have additional income.
