Sarah, 28 untangles her screaming two year oldas arms from around her neck and gives him one more quick kiss before she looks at his baby sitter apologetically and rushes out the door. As she rushes down the sidewalk she can hear her baby screaming after her, aMommy come back!a She dares not look over her shoulder for fear of seeing the toddleras wet, red face pressed against the window. Sarah starts her car and sighs. aI wish I could just stay home with him,a she thinks to herself.
What working mother hasnat been through this before? Honestly though, are their other options? We are bombarded with online ads all the time. These ads claim that we can earn thousands of dollars a month from right behind our home computers. It sounds great!
Well, it would be great if you were willing to pay a $150 start up cost or dedicate 30 hours a week to taking surveys. Who wants to send some stranger $150 over the internet if you arenat really sure what youare getting in return? Weave all heard, aIf it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.a Who would realistically be able to pull themselves away from the toddler long enough to make $1500 a month in surveys? If this were possible, we would all be professional survey takers.
So what are the options? Well, familiar ones, and if you have
experience with sales, you may reach success. Basically you sell
products you find online. Granted that requires a shop-front and a
client-list, but many have found success setting up shop, and
focusing on their local area and their needs. Everything from
make-up to marital aids, to cooking gadgets can be found online for
resale.
So how much money does selling one of these products actually pay? Like anything it depends on how dedicated you want to be too it. A little online research and an unscientific poll tell me that you could make anything from $30-$200 a show. If you can swing two shows a month youare looking at $60 - $400 a month. OK so maybe that will take care of a dinner or two out a month. If you are really good, you will have enough to pay for a family vacation or Christmas gifts.
If you look at things more realistically, it's easy to see that you \"make\" more money, by cutting back on expenses. Cut down on a car you don't really need, and you've made yourself $300-500 a month! Taking a break from going out to eat could earn you another couple hundred dollars a month. But let's not forget all the expenses involved with work and traveling to work, and that child care bill! But how could you cut back on that expense?
Have a seat with your loved one and grab a calculator. Believe it or not, you could \"earn\" just as much money staying at home and cutting out all the unnecessary expenditures. You could be at home with your child, but you have to sacrifice all those lunches and dinners out, you have to start cutting back on extras. And think about this, having one income may put you in a lower tax bracket, making you eligible for more benefits!
At the end of the day, it's your call, is it worth it to leave your
child to the hands of others all day? Children grow up very fast,
and it's up to you to decide what's best for them, and best for you.
Believe it or not, making the appropriate sacrifices can make your
dream come true!
