Company Downsizing
Posted: Sat Oct 06, 2018 7:49 pm
My company is in the midst of a down sizing exercise.
There is no indication I will be leaving but there's no guarantee I won't either.
It appears there is up to a 6 month time horizon for these actions.
I would like to start earning extra money in some way. I am a process auditor manager, have financial analyst experience, and have lots of procedure writing experience, and have been a supervisor for 17 years so leveraging my day job into a second income doesn't seem possible.
I have no tradesman skills. I think I could learn grant writing fairly quickly, but it's by no means a high paying job. But I am a good carp fisherman.
I don't play an instrument, have a skill I can teach classes on, etc. That people will pay for anyway.
Any ideas for ways to earn extra money?
I am in a bit of a "down" period because I never imagined I'd be in this position. It's a direct result of the tariffs someone decided to implement that have had unintended consequences.
I have $480k in 401k, $150k in home equity, $60k in savings and a pension accrual. I thought I was in a good position, but the next 10 years might be different than I've planned for the past 22 years.
