A steady source of income is a man's bottom line to support his family

[CageMabok]

The thing that I have felt 4 years ago with very enough income for each week with $ 1000 but everything just ran out without knowing what was bought or done. Everyone can get it, but not necessarily that person can manage what they have in large numbers. now only regret is so big and feel all that can not be repeated again.

Earning $1000 in a week is a tremendous amount of money and I was really surprised when that kind of money ran out on its own without buying anything. For me it's a little strange because that kind of money in the past four years can certainly buy something luxurious, although not too luxurious. But when that income continues to exist every week, maybe you can buy a house or private car that is a little luxurious at that time. But I don't know how you spend it without buying anything at that time.

In this life many things are unexpected, if we work and get a salary that according to current standards is large then never be satisfied, unexpected things can happen for example the covid pandemic which has made many people lose their jobs and they are not ready so they have to sell assets or debt to survive, from now on we must actively look for sources of income and passive income so that it can be a supporter of the main income.

 I understand him and am trying my best to help him find a high-pay job.

wrong mate, In His situation now? it cares nothing about how much he will be paid for a Job instead he will accept no matter how low or high the offers is , because if he will be choose(or I guess he is choosy) then he will never survive this kind of economy now.

forget about the high pay job , give him anything that he will earn at least.

My friend's story sends me a signal: no matter how much I earn right now, try to keep my job and souce of income stable. I am also a family man and have responsibilities. Anything bad can also happen to me so I have to be prepared to the unforseen problems, although I am doing fine now. Make hay while the sun shines. If you have any advice for my friend, please let me know. Thank you.

I find it stupid about leaving Job just because they are earning in crypto space, for me? we must keep our job unless we start earning Millions that we will be owning our own company .

Your friend should wake up and smell the coffee..... we live in a world where any "employment" are a gift from the gods. There are millions of people out there without jobs and he is picky about the benefits? Come on...... take any bloody job and pay for what you can... then go out and get a second job and pay for the medical benefits from that. 

I worked 3 jobs at one stage to keep the pots cooking, this build my CV and I was able to get better jobs with benefits and I had spare money to pay for more studies and investments in Crypto.

It would be easy to say to find passive income but not as easy as expected with all the work you have to go through. You have to be consistent with everything you have built so far. So the more consistent you are with all of this, the more it will work as it should. It will be difficult if you can not wait to do it.

Without a steady source of income how do you think that their Family could survive?
Even if you have a huge amount of money if your not using it wisely to have an income it would just drain up from all the food and bills for your family.
I've been there and done that it doesn't really work out unless you would have a passive or steady source of income.

In this condition it also depends on where you actually live because $1000/week is really big and as you said it depends on how you manage it because this is obviously very wasteful in my opinion if indeed the results of one week that big are used up too for the same time.
But indeed there are several factors to this because indeed things like this kind of waste will always occur with the assumption that we are still looking for another one next week so that it just goes away.

Well $1000/week is something else actually depending on where you live and it is not just on how you manage it. Here in the Philippines, that is indeed a lot, but consider on where you currently reside. In provincial area, surely all your relatives would beg you for money for that amount like you hit the lottery every week while in city areas, you could be living either in a little bit of luxury or just doing "enough".

Cost of living is a major factor at these situations especially when we're talking about whether that is local or international.

I also find the story on the OP odd, when you really need money you do not care too much about the benefits you are getting even if you think you may need them soon, and that is because when you have no job any income is better than no income, besides as you state this could eventually move you to a position with better pay and benefits or this could help you build your resume which will eventually lead you in that direction as well.

In time of desperation, there's no place for being picky on what kind of job to accept. Your friend needs a job but don't like low paying if it's the only available? He should accept any decent job just to earn because he's badly in need. Then, he can try to find ways to maximize his earnings by having a side job. He don't have source of income because it's also his choice, remember the saying if there's a will, there's a way? This is one of the reason why we should not too confident of what we current have now because we'll never know what tomorrow brings. That's why we must be prepared incase similar situation happened to us.

Personal take on that matter, if you are into a despecrate position and there's no other option, taking the job and adjust with the salary that you might get is far better than nothing at all, maybe it's depend on how a certain individual take his decision making and how he can manage to survive with no option to take.

If there's opportunities then grabbing it will be his next target but whatever things is available as long as it's decent and there's nothing wrong with the management, taking it and be contented will give you something in your table.

Indeed, sometimes the greater the income we get, the greater our expenses will be. However, if we stick to it, we will not find savings, because surely this is always embedded in our minds.
As I said before, sometimes we are always complacent with our big income. Yes, we don't think about and don't care about what happens in the next week because we feel we will produce the same amount as this week. We must get rid of this, because it will have a bad influence on our financial life.

Just recently my wife also had the same dilemma. She wants to have a job, the same thing she had before, even if it's low paying as long as the incentives are correct. But to her surprise, most of the jobs that she was interviewed was all offering salaries from sales. Marketing usually. I didn't like the idea and I told her it might become a difficult job as she will have to be as delightful as possible while offering whatever the item is.
It's a stressful job and I don't want to see her acting all stressed inside the house although she said it's going to be a work from home basis.
I told her to just keep on looking, we are in better days now with the pandemic gone and we are almost back to the normal ways with people not wearing mask and businesses opening again. She will find it for sure and I believe your friend too.

[Hypnosis00]

We can say that having a good and reliable source of income makes you not feel any worries and could live peacefully without thinking about where to get money for daily expenses. It was a responsibility not just for the man but also for the woman who wants to have comfortable life to give to the family. The more care about the future, the more we are eager to work hard and earn more money because in this time, we can't rely on others to help us but rather make our own way to survive.

[Rockstarguy]

My friend was not willing to take any of them because he has a family to feed and his wife's condition is unstable which could need a lot of money for surgery at any time. I understand him and am trying my best to help him find a high-pay job.

If your friend is not expecting any high pay job from anywhere or any body it will be better for him to accept any available job that comes his way because it is better to have source of income than having nothing,  he should pick the available one and wait for the bigger. In life you have to start somewhere and wait for bigger opportunities around the corner.  It doesn't make sense not to accept a job because of the small pay and their is no hope for anyone coming immediately.

Having a stable job is our strong foundation against financial crisis. We might be earning higher than our permanent job but we should not leave our jobs for it because stability and assurance always provide a guarantee of a more secure future. We can have a side hustle but we should always have our job as a main source of income. Having a permanent job also enhances our skills and provides us with more experiences which we can use in the future as well.

This sound like a good idea with the building of your work and experience portfolio because many employers out there would require and prefer to recruit that person with added advantage whether in work experience or skill. Therefore seating at home and picky will not add those additional value and make the curriculum vitae more interesting. Although some jobs are really not worth it but if you consider the other advantage that it will give you may choose to do the job for a short while and then find another or learn a skill. Trading crypto can be learned and that will be a real advantage.

Two things you can do if you have the opportunity. People will take this income in large amounts and they will also work on small amounts to continue to grow from two sides at once. I also do similar things if both of those I can do but I don't have a good job nor do I have the capital or big money to invest in it.

[virasisog]

I had a stable job where I earned enough for my family before while having side hustle at home through online jobs. Unfortunately, the company that I have been working with was hardly affected by the pandemic so I have no choice but to stay home and look for better opportunities during the lockdown. I'm glad that my side hustles have saved me during the pandemic crisis. From that experience, I have learned that it is important to have a good source of income and as much as possible and as long as we are capable, we should still find other ways to earn and make money because we still don't know what will tomorrow may bring.

[Lida93]

A bird at hand is far better than many in the bush, what am implying is that your friend should be take the job he can have his hands in for now while hoping for a bigger one with desirable pay that suits his personality. At least something tangible will be coming from the little job to meet up some financial needs especially for his wife's surgical needs when the time comes and not to wait idle for a better job that's not forth coming at the moment.
Even with the little job he can also add a side hustle to it based on whatever skill he might possess and this would could cover lots of ground for him before he knows it.

[Distinctin]

Or better yet, have multiple income streams. Just so you have a backup if you get fired from your job or your main income goes bust.

If we can follow that and increase our means of living, then we will not be struggling anymore with our finances to the extent of focusing on our side jobs in the future when it’s already giving us great income. With a lot of side hustles available nowadays, that is really possible especially that we can already work remotely and still gain a good compensation after that. However, it’s still best to have a stable job, be it low paid, at least you can rely from it to pay your bills and basic expenses.
