Work at Home Mom

Many educated, capable women who have become mothers fantasize about finding the perfect Work at Home Job. There are hundreds of offers out there trying to cash in on this desperate yearning for earning. Most are fraudulent. It is my opinion that many women would benefit from a reformation of attitude. As CEOs of the home, women have the unique freedom and opportunity to SAVE a lot of money. My paternal grandmother tirelessly beat into my brain the phrase, "A penny saved is a penny earned." The concept of saving money is not new. It's as old as humans. However, to save money - a LOT of money - is a full time job. It can be done at the grocery store, at clothing stores, in the home, everywhere. Some may try to capitalize on the environmental movement and call this "Green" thinking. Yes, it is helpful to the environment to reduce, reuse, and recycle. You can pat yourself on the back if you do the things I am going to suggest. However, if we're honest, most of us will admit what kind of "Green" really motivates us. We want to make money, save money, and live better lives.

I never spend money on children's clothing and I have four small kids to clothe and shoe. I have cut my grocery bill in half. I choose very carefully which items I will purchase and I extend the life of the items I do buy. Essentially, by adding up the money I DON'T SPEND, I do actually make a very good income. And I do it all with my children in tow.
