After I became a mother, finances became much more complicated. The same goes for things like clothes. If they‘d still fit, I’d be content to continue to wear my clothes from the early 2000s. I have given up on second hand kids’ clothing. I love that you are repairing your reusable bags.

Clothing boutique For the fashion-forward entrepreneurs out there, consider opening your own clothing boutique. Does your home have a guest house, mother-in-law suite or even just a spare bedroom?

Now-I’m a single parent who works part-time, cares for my elder mother, homeschools & runs a farm. Two “small” ones come to mind- my first car & first motorcycle-owned for a while, did a few small repairs & sold for what I paid. I usually take laundry pods & wash clothes wherever for less luggage/cost.

If we wanted extra money for something like school clothes or makeup, we were given a chore to earn it. Clothing and furniture are just a couple of the things you can buy on the Facebook marketplace , Craigslist , and OfferUp. You could also form a group with other mothers and come up with a neighborhood sport or activity.

We mowed the grass, made our clothes, cleaned house, cooked , and fixed broken stuff. We had a dishwasher, but it was broken and we didn’t want to spend the money to repair it – so we did without one – for 10 years! We didn’t have a clothes dryer. We line dried all of our clothes, summer or winter.
