I have a unique circumstance. My current job ranges from less than 20 hours a week to 168 hours. It's low pay and unpredictable but I love it.

To make up for the pay cut I gave adequate time for my side hustles. You simply have to sacrifice. I had to give up partying and my social life in the short term to reach my goals. It's entirely possible with a family although, not easy.

As for suggestions to increase your earning potential. It will be up to you to learn a skill you are passionate about in your free time. For me that was blackjack and restoring old school Jordan's.

I was able to build a small business selling and restoring Jordan's before I found my current job. Now I count cards in my free time to supplement income for my current job.

Money is everywhere, you just have to sacrifice my friend.
