    Burritos , I think a person could sell 20 a day maybe for $5 each = $ 100 per day

    My wife will be riding with me and she is Filipina and makes very good Lumpia ( Philippine eggroll ) ???????

    I think it may be possible to give her something to do and pick up a few $$$

    Probably not much effort. may be a pain to do but don't seem like it would take much.

    Tell her to go to some type of school, learn a trade and be self supporting and contribute to the household finances, all the while as you're plying the highways and byways learning your trade. That's what my wife did 28 years ago while raising the kids. It took her 7 years into it to become a successful real estate agent making 4 times what I make. Now she busts my jewels every day wanting me to retire. Why she kept me around all these years is the question for the ages.

    Well you're married so she'll make half of what you make and she doesn't have to do a thing!

    Nice suggestion CT. I was just going to suggest also option trading. Selling calls and puts. It's something I'm doing now. Of course im not driving in unison, but it makes each trip interesting. Keeps the brain focused. Options are nowhere near as risky is they're made out to be. If the lady is into numbers I would suggest exploring this too.
    Good luck.

    does your wife like to crochet?, knitting, needle point etc?. my wife would do that kind of stuff then when we got home she would take it down to the flee market in town and make some money selling it. just a thought

    Quilts, needlepoint, crochet, etc. Are all plausable ideas. They fit what she likes to do. Nice ideas. It sounds like a fun life together, because of our personalities together. And taking our home time in different vacation spots would be fun. But before we do it, ill let her come along for some trial runs and make sure she knows what shes getting into. I want it to be her choice. But i have a feeling she would enjoy that more than being home alone and going to work.

    Telemarketing, sales over the phone, customer service rep,
    bookmaker, sex on the phone, designer, scam artist, shoe polisher, dispatcher and load bidder.
    If everything else fails some people also beg for gas money or get online degrees.
