All of us love to lead a comfortable life with our dear family members and friends. The amount of money that we earn plays an important part in accomplishing this task. Unfortunately though, many among us are not earning enough to fulfill all the dreams that we keep close to our hearts.

Working extra hours at the job or doing a second job is the easiest way to achieve this. If you decide to do this, you can ask your boss or supervisor about your willingness to be ‘on call’or to do extra hours when available. This would help you to add some extra dollars to your regular income. Help your boss to get on the good books of his or her boss. This would make your boss happy and can help you at your very next performance review. Check with your boss about his or her expectations for you in the next six month period or a year. If possible, get it in a written format. Now, try to accomplish this target or surpass it. Once you do that, ask him for a raise and show him the offer document. Again you must show that you have surpassed those expectations.
