Eventually, I got bored of basically doing nothing productive on the evenings during the working week. I wanted to make a bit of extra cash and utilize my time better.

I dedicated 4-5 hours on an evening after work to programming. I started with HTML & CSS, and moved on to JavaScript and PHP as time went on and my skills progressed.

It took 20 months.

The job was located 40-minutes away from my house. I had been living away from home for 3 years and the idea of me being back sounded great.

Thanks for sharing. If you like it, it is the best. Also, for productivity freaks, it is probably more productive as well. (not about the money.)
