It sure looks like my savings plans might slow down considerably starting in January unless I can come up with another source of income. For the last year, I've had a living arrangement in which I have not had to pay rent. This will change as I plan to move at the end of the month. The money with which I had been making additional car payments and putting into my eMM account will now be used for rent.
Why rent? Property prices are out of this world in my area. Also, my credit is still shaky, I need another year or two to get back and stabilized. It's been nearly perfect for a year and half, but I need more time to keep building it.
Some of my decisions are being made right now for lifestyle. I want to live in a certain area, near my family friends. It will be a little less than an hour commute to my job, so my fuel and vehicle maintence costs are going to be pretty high. I'd like to make some additional income without leaving my house. I have another web venture which brings me maybe $150 - $200 on a monthly basis, and perhaps another $6000 in two other months. The next one of those months isn't until May, and will likely only be about $1500. So a more consistant monthly income would be welcome.

It may be a little late, but have you considered a seasonal job? You can either deal with people (can be more $$), or shuffle in the back rooms carrying boxes (usually less $$, but you can work at night). I worked at Circuit City for a month before it just became too much on top of my full-time job. Too bad you had to stay 6 months to get the employee discount...
I read an online book called 1,000 Ways to Make Money by Wayne Yeager. You probably will not think twice about half the ideas in there, but reading it certainly gets your mind jogging.
Marketing your web designing skills for greater exposure is also a great way to make money. Web designing is great because there is no overhead and your time is the only expense!
