Saving SAHM Sanity

JANUARY 1, 2012

2011 was a year that went like I never imagined it would. I set a bunch of goals I wanted to achieve in 2011 and thought I'd have plenty of time to do them. In September my part time student statues changed to full time. At the end of Dec 2010, I was a SAHM. path, I'm not the least bit disappointed.

It's been quite a year; I have a total of four jobs (one full time, three part time) and am beginning to make a dent in my student loan debt. By the end of this year, I will have increased my income by over 70% (compared to my one full time job). Hello, and Happy Holidays, folks! So that's it!

We have a friend who bought a cute little cottage that he lives in full time in 2011, and, much to his chagrin, he found that when the winter came along, his heating bill was almost unaffordable. He didn’t realize that single paned windows, which he had all over his house, were that inefficient.

Forbes reported: ”According to new numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2012 full-time employed women earned just 80.9% of the salaries their male counterparts did, down more than a full percentage point from 2011 when the number hovered over 82%.” We earn less than the guys.
