While you are repairing your credit, you will want to channel as much money as you can into savings and debt repayment. For this, having a second income or even just a few hundred dollars a month more can mean that you get your credit into shape faster.
Having a secondary form of income can also keep your credit safe - if you lose your job, you can use the money you make from a secondary source to repay your bills until you find another form of employment.
There are many ways to get more income:
-You can ask your employer for a raise.
-You can start to sell something through the Internet or through a company.
-You can establish your own small business that can be tended to on the side.
-You can rent out part of your home to make some extra money.
-You can get a part-time or weekend job.
Whatever you do, finding an alternate source of income can help your credit immensely.
