Instead of spending so many hours watching the TV - why not work on a hobby?
There are so many things that can be done such as crafts, repairs, building things that can actually be resold in order to bring extra money into your home.
My grandmother was 61 when I was born. There is not a day that I don't remember her crocheting. She was very good and often sold some of the items that she made.
Knitting has made a come back in the last couple of years, not only is it good to know, but also can bring additional income into your home.
Jewelry makers, candle makers, bakers, are usually always at craft shows selling their creations.
There are the people that make wreaths and floral designers.
One of the more interesting ideas that I saw at the home show last year, was a local honey bee farmer selling his honey.
Farmers markets are a way to sell your fresh produce if you can garden.
Hunting and Fishing can provide food for your family. Just make sure you have the necessary licenses.
Repairs are another option - my mother was a seamstress. Every month or more often if needed I was sent down the block to a man who sharpened knives and scissors. He would sharpen her scissors for a couple of bucks and had a steady stream of business.
These are only some of the options, be sure not to violate any of your local zoning laws. These are suggestions to help increase the money coming into your home, not to cost you more in fines.
