I’m a big Dave Ramsey fan, and there’s a very specific reason for it: he knows that personal finance goes beyond numbers and logic. It’s about behavior, and a lot of times, the way we handle our money defies logic, so you need to go deeper to figure out why you spend money the way you do, good or bad.

I think you would be hard pressed to earn more than minimum wage, but that may be enough for your current circumstances. Maybe you don’t have access to a traditional job. Maybe you are disabled, or live in a rural place. If your current job has large amounts of “down-time”, or you need to stay awake while you are on-call, Amazon Turk may be an option for some extra income…
