That's an extra 500/mo for me.
Factoring in needing to (re)buy office clothes/makeup/hair products, the extra time to get ready every day, commute with the time and money costs, as well as increased food costs?
Hard pass. That "extra" money is only going to pay for those extra costs.
Let's look from a time perspective. Being conservative in estimating a typical commute (for my area) and getting ready time, that's an extra 1.5 hours to my day. 500 a month over that extra 30 hours a week is 16/hr. Not terrible, but not worth it to me. I'm not going to trade 3 hours of my off work time for $48.
Now, if you're willing to trade that time for that cost, I'll def find 3 hours of chores around my place to hire you for!
