Earn more money.

I've been a software engineer for 8 years but I earn less than some new grads. I've never gone in for flashy toys or expensive trips, but now I realise that money buys me time. Time with my friends, time with my family, time to do what I want.

How do you plan on earning more money? New job? Freelancing? Starting a business?

Job hunting is the number one. I see job adverts for around 1x to 3x my salary. Job hunting is a real uphill struggle as I'm severely affected by ADHD and have a spotty job history, but I think if I spin it well I can get a big bump.
