To make a living, we must work. In uncertain days like now facing the global economic downturn, a stable job with high income becomes a scarcity. A side job or business seems like more necessary than ever, which can minimize the risks of losing your current job, ending up pennyless. However, a side job/business also takes time and efforts and can never be attained whenever we need it. What did you do or will you do in order to ensure your finanical stability despite all unfavorable circumstances ?
Obviously, side job also takes time and effort but since you want to be financially stable there's no other way. First thing I'll be doing is developing and adding skills and knowledge as much as possible. Then, I'll start freelancing, maybe as a technical writer or a web designer, depends on what skillset I've developed, so I don't put too much time on my side job since I have a main job. In addition, if you can't have additional source of income then lessen the amount you're spending.
