Hi, All:
No, really, it's not spam. Just soliciting advice.
A recent "reevaluation" and "reclassification" by Revenue Canada has just hoofed me in the nuts, and I'm told I owe an additional $5000. I've got many of the same problems as some of the fellows on here--young family, trying to pay off student loans, mortgage, etc, and I'm not sure this particular rock can be squeezed any harder. My days of a "fun budget" for things like computer parts are mostly gone; the only recent concession has been for a new camera in advance of our second bundle of joy's anticipated arrival in March.
Things are only going to get uglier with my wife on maternity leave, which is making me seriously consider a second job--but I want to be able to spend some time around my family, as well. Ideally, if I could find something that I could do on a flexible evening schedule, an hour or two a night, and bring in an extra couple of hundred buck a week, that would be perfect.
Googling this sort of thing doesn't work worth a damn, naturally, with all the scams out there. Does anyone already do something like this and have a lead I could follow up on? My primary skill is writing/editing, with an obvious secondary skill set in computers. I've thought about doing freelance writing, but the pay is pretty terrible, from what I've found.
Thanks for listening (well, reading)...
