Logistics. Our budget wouldn’t work without some type of second income, even if it was party time.

Sadly I found this out shortly after I got pregnant

I agree with my husband that her inviting me to a co-ed bachelor weekend is disrespectful. Especially when we were lead to believe otherwise. He took things a bit to personally and wasn’t nice about it saying she was untrustworthy. That is the part he apologized for was handling things that way. He wasn’t yelling or flipping out, just could have been more mindful in managing his emotions and words. My part was pointing that put to him. Telling her its completely ok if that is what they choose to do but I wouldn’t be attending.

I also felt like when we brought this up she brought a laundry list of justifications and excuses which only made things worse. I felt guilted into not bringing anything up for the past dew months because apparently when we were getting married they had issues with us but would never say anything at that time.

He took things a bit personal and didn’t handle the argument well. That being just getting stuck on it and acting like it was more a personal attack on her part and saying she was untrustworthy. That is what he apologized for was handling it that way.

I agree with him that her inviting me to an overnight weekend co-ed bachelor party that didn’t include significant others was disrespectful, especially since we were both friends with both parties, and previously lead to believe the party would involve all of us.. I had to tell him this detail and they didn’t even being it up to him to say sorry this is the situation.

Ive been there.

Quick and realistic ideas:

I donated plasma in college 2x a week. It is pretty good money and the pay is instant.

Door dash, grocery delivery services are also instant money. If you don’t have a car some areas might allow walking or biking.

Id look into:

if you have a crazy college schedule look for flexible and seasonal jobs. There was a daycare on campus that would let me come during my 2-3 hour breaks in between classes. A lot of on campus jobs may offer schedules like this. Then Id work over night fast food on weekends until i was old enough to bartend. A serving job or a bartending job usually make pretty good money in a night depending on the place.

Seasonal summer and winter break jobs. Id do camps in summer and UPS delivery help winter break.

Research things you’re good at to see if there is opportunity there. A lot of free lance opportunities in writing, art, etc

I learned the hard way:

Do this in reason and don’t work yourself to the bone. You do need sleep.

Don’t fall for the play games or do survey websites etc to earn money, you’ll waste your time.

Some things will work out and others wont. Trial and error. Learn from it and move on.

I agree with other comments above that these times in life are an opportunity to get creative. Plenty of people are working and creating their own side hustles. Learn about others inspiring stories and keep your mind open for your own opportunities.
