Today we are meeting a reader who lives in the same region of the U.S. We knew that I would likely not be working full time much longer as we wanted to start a family, so we chose a house that was in a low price range and got a 15-year mortgage. Within reason, we like to give our kids a nice Christmas with presents they enjoy.

Today we’re meeting a reader who is an artist, a homeschooler, a boy-mom, and a renter by choice. For 20 or so years I’ve been homeschooling my kids, and am now down to about 1 1/2 (one full-time homeschooler, and one doing College Credit Plus with some support). Hello, everyone! Here’s Karen: 1.

Because I approached her, she began giving me some more challenging work. Should You Be a Lifer at Your Job?

The Best Times To Side Hustle…. Nothing gives you the upper hand in a negotiation quite like your services being desperately needed, as soon as possible. Leaving yourself open to side hustle opportunities that pop up at any time, particularly in the last minute, may not always be convenient but can pay off big time.

I am in awe of those who make a full-time living from their blogs and even have to higher assistants so they don’t have to work 80 hours a week themselves keeping their blogs running. Blogging gives you an excellent platform to share your views. Connecting with like-minded people. Having a springboard to other jobs.
