How do you avoid being in debt? How can you live in the bay area with the changing economy where half of the workers are contract-temp workers.

Many workers in the bay area work two jobs to prepare for any changes in work or the economy. This way, one can avoid debts or collectors.  Those who are burdened with high cost of mortgage, babysitting costs, car payments and other bills are extra careful by creating other avenues of income generation.

Some became landlords, and self-employed.  Some retired grandpas became babysitters to help their children who are working two jobs to pay bills. Some 70plus are still working odd jobs like caregiving and maintenance work.

What is your story to keep up with the changing economy in the bay area?
