A part time job can be great, especially at a place like Starbucks. Not sure what your benefits situation is, but not a bad place to be. I think if you work 20+ hrs per week, they give you benefits. Or you’re eligible for benefits (not sure if they “give” them to you or not.

I am still putting those into the picture. Zillow says the price has stabilized the last three months. Considering it’s 10% less than what I paid for it in 2004, I really hope it doesn’t fall more.

Lazy, are you still putting monthly changes for your Boston house value from Zillow in your net worth? If thats the case then you did pretty good from my perspective — I would imagine the house value in zillow is going the wrong way too.

Don’t let the net worth drop drag you down. Mine dropped nearly $6K this month. Although annoying, there is no reason to change 30 year plans over a short term drop. (I think you are with me on this time line thought.) Assuming that the majority of your money is for retirement, the drop only represents a sale on new stock purchases.

Good luck with the part-time work. Something part-time and steady I am sure would be helpful.

Well, with the market rising sharply yesterday, you should at least be able to break even this month in terms of net worth.

I’m looking a part-time consulting gig ;-)… it’s not ideal, but it’s necessary.

Are there really any decent-paying part time jobs available? Unless you have some sort of part time consulting deal, I don’t know what else you can do to make some bucks in a non-full time situation. I’m curious to see what you do here.
