Has Raich got a different job? With savings like that she does not need a 2nd job If only that could be said for all. I heard a lady on the radio with two jobs and trying to study for a degree. Works at a supermarket but low hours, cannot always take the overtime offered and had to turn down the management offer as well. She is a single Mum and the hours would mean she has to have a 2nd job so that she can arrange for (paid) childcare. If you suddenly need extra childcare it is not always easy to arrange. And she wanted to actually see her child every day.
