Q: The more money you make each month, the easier it will be. Accordingly, consider part-time work. Even working 10 hours a week at $10 an hour nets you $100 a week. Before taxes, you’ll make an additional $5,000 in a year. With that kind of money, you’ll soon stop living paycheck to paycheck and instead begin building financial freedom. Part-time work isn’t always possible if you have young children or are a single parent. However, there are many work-from-home options, such as writing freelance articles. Dedicate yourself to your job for the next six months. Show up on time and go the extra mile. At the end of the six-month period, ask your boss for a raise or a promotion. Now is the time to clean out your house and sell things you no longer use. Divide objects into three piles and sell them where they are likely to get the most value:  Larger items like furniture and bookcases can be sold on Craigslist. You’ll be surprised at how many people contact you. Ask them to pay in cash and show up at your home to haul the items away. Smaller items worth $5-10 can be sold on eBay. This category includes things like hardback books, old DVD players, and smaller electronic items. Sell everything else in a yard sale or a garage sale. Pick a sunny day and paper the neighborhood with flyers. , if necessary. Your child’s other parent is legally required to support their children, whether they want to be involved in the child’s life or not. Accordingly, you should file for child support. Contact your local child support agency. They can find a missing parent, establish paternity, and sue to get child support payments.  Look in your phone book or contact your state’s Attorney General’s office, which is responsible for establishing child support agencies.

You can also file for child support on your own, but it’s easier if you work with the child support agency. They charge only a small fee. Depending on your income, you might qualify for government benefits, such as health insurance or food stamps. Investigate your options and contact the relevant government agency to check whether you qualify. Many working people qualify for help.  For example, you can qualify for Medicaid health insurance if your income is sufficiently low. Contact your state’s Department of Health and Human Services to check. Even if you don’t qualify for Medicaid, you can buy health insurance on the government health exchanges. You might qualify for help paying your premium and any out-of-pocket expenses.  Some workers also qualify for food stamps. Generally, a single person will qualify if they make less than $1,287 each month in gross income, and a household with three people will qualify if they make less than $2,184. You can save big at tax time if you know which deductions you are entitled to take. Each deduction will lower the amount you must pay in taxes. Consider the following:  Business owners who work from home can claim the home office deduction. You will qualify if you use a space in your home exclusively and regularly as your office.  Business owners can also deduct business expenses, so long as they are ordinary and necessary. An expense is ordinary if it is accepted and common in your business, and an expense is necessary if it is appropriate and helpful. Necessary expenses do not have to indispensable.
A: Get a part-time job. Ask for a raise. Sell items you don’t use. Get child support Find government assistance. Take all of your tax deductions.

Q: The pigments in the paint separate over time so you will need to shake the can vigorously to re-combine them. If you have already shaken and used the can within the last 12 hours you will only need to shake the can for 1 minute. Hold the can about 25 centimetres (9.8 in) away from the card and spray the paint. Check the card to make sure that the paint has sprayed evenly. If it is patchy, shake the can for a few more minutes. A test spray will give you the chance to experiment with how much pressure you need to put on the spray button. Hold the can so that is parallel to the car’s surface and about 25 centimetres (9.8 in) away from the car. Push down the spray button and spray the paint over the car using even, back and forth strokes. Take care to keep the can parallel to the car as you move your arm across the area. Continue spraying until the area has a light even coat.  Try to move the can at a consistent speed. Move your arm across the area at a consistent speed to achieve an even coat. Applying multiple coats of paints will give an even surface to the car. Wait 10 minutes before applying the next coat. The paint should still be slightly sticky, this helps the next coat to stick and blend into the previous coat.  If the surface still looks patchy after 2 coats, apply another coat after 10 minutes.  Wait 30 minutes for the paint to dry before applying the clear paint. Push the spray button and move the can along the area in a smooth motion over the surface you have already painted. This will help to protect the paint from the UV rays in the sun. Leave this coat to dry for 24 hours before using the car.
A: Shake the paint can for at least 3 minutes. Test the paint on a spare piece of cardboard. Spray the paint onto the car, using horizontal strokes. Apply at least 2 coats of paint, with a 10-minute break between coats. Spray a coat of clear paint over the area using a horizontal motion.

Q: Adding a negative integer is the same as subtracting a positive one. This is easier to see by testing this out with the number line method described in another section, but you can think about it in words too. A negative number is not a normal quantity; it is less than zero, and can represent an amount being taken away. If you add this "taking away" to a normal number, you'll end up making it smaller.  Example: 10 + -3 = 10 - 3 = 7 Example: -12 + 18 = 18 + -12 = 18 – 12 = 6. Remember that you can always switch the order of numbers in an addition problem, but not in a subtraction problem. Sometimes turning your addition problem into a subtraction problem  as described above can end up with odd results like 4 – 7. When this happens, reverse the order of the numbers and make your answer negative.  Say you begin with 4 + -7. Turn this into a subtraction problem: 4 - 7 Reverse the order and make it negative: -(7 – 4) = -(3) = -3. If you aren't used to parentheses in your equations yet, think of it like this: 4 - 7 turns into 7 - 4 with a minus sign added. 7 - 4 = 3 but I should make it -3 for the right answer to the problem 4 - 7. Two negative numbers added together will always make a number more negative. There is nothing positive being added, so you'll always end up with something further from 0. Finding the answer is simple:  -3 + -6 = -9 -15 + -5 = -20 Do you see the pattern? All you need to do is add the numbers as though they were positive and add a negative sign. -4 + -3 = -(4 + 3) = -7 Just like the addition problems, you can rewrite these so you only have to deal with positive numbers. If you're subtracting a negative number, you're "taking away" some "stuff taken away", which is the same as adding a positive number.  Think of the negative number as stolen money. If you "subtract", or take away, some stolen money so you can return it, that's the same as giving that person money, right? Example: 10 – -5 = 10 + 5 = 15 Example: -1 – -2 = -1 + 2. You already learned how to solve this problem in an early step, remember? Reread Learn how to add a negative and a positive number if you don't remember. Here's the full solution to the last example: -1 – -2 = -1 + 2 = 2 + -1 = 2 – 1 = 1.
