About 5 years ago, I did a part time job.....did the part time thing for a year and half.
I also reviewed my finances, and trimmed the fat where I could. I also made sure my vehicles were paid off first....once debt free, I would borrow a small loan from my bank here and there to get started. I went for system 11s. Kept my loans small....and gave me trading/selling funds to gain other pins. Make sure you protect your quarterback.....and dont get foolish being upside down in debt.
