Last year, to make a little extra cash, I started boarding dogs through Rover, and I am about to start a very very part time job using my RN license for a home care company. We’re in a semi -rural area within 30 minutes of a few good-sized towns, and within 2-3 hours of several major cities. Good for you guys.

In September 2019, my husband and I accomplished our biggest financial goal in our almost 20 years of marriage. However, it produces a small part-time income from side-bar ads and affiliate commissions. We’re no spring chickens, so in November 2016, we started contributing again to our retirement.
