Ok.. Here is the situation... I work for a very large vp box store.. Have for 12 years.. They announced that my position will be eliminated in January.. I was told that they will find a position for me ( but I'll bet it will be less pay) but not sure I want to stay as the company is kinda unstable.. The biggest reason I stayed all these years is the benefits ( insurance and three week vacation) .. But the job itself is not to my liking at all..
My wife is taking a job at a hospital that has great benefits so I'm not tied down to just having a job for benefits.. I have to keep my benefits U til after my knee surgery in June then it can cancel it..
Now in the past I owned a gym and wrote for a few magazines.. The gym biz is too competitive in this town now and there isn't much money in writing.. Personal training is a option as I had done it in the past but very up and down income wise..
I guess I could personal train ( I have a elaborate home gym ) and write but the income will not be there .. For those in the industry is there other avenues you have ventured into that were profitable to help supplement your income ? I don't need " silly " money because this town is cheap to live in just avenues I can use.. Just curious
