Stress

Quote From: candace

Living on one income is a huge challange. Not only are most homes two incomes but then there is 

no one to bounce things off of and share the responsibilitys of running a household. I tell my family 

that most household are working 80 hrs a week (40 for husband & 40 for the wife) . In order to sucessfully run my household I work 80+ house a week. This is increased by the fact I sell real estate and I'm on comission. Basically I take care of my real estate business first , second my 

personal finances. If family or friend don't understand , oh well. I have been managing this life 

style for 26 years and I'm in the top 5% of my field. The only thing I can't seem to manage is the stress, can anyone help me with that?       

Congratulations on your success in Real estate- good for you if thats what you want! I'm not willing to give up 80 hours a week of my life for money- but thats just me. If stress is giving you a problem, you should figure out where its coming from and eliminate or minimize that from your life. I would suggest that you talk with some of your family or friends, but it doesn't sound like you have any time for that........
