Topic : 03/24 Moms Money Conflicts

When my husband and I first got married, money was the cause for many arguments. I can safely say that we dont do that anymore. The cure: we made a commitment to get out of debt! We asked God to help us, and boy did we get help! We have successfully paid off the Credit Card, My Wedding Ring, Honeymoon and BOTH Cars!!!! That was about $40,000 in just 10 months!!!  I would have never thought it could be done! How did we do it? First we committed to it. Second, I workded to pay ALL of the bills (At home business) and he worked to pay off debt (Owns own business). Amazingly we dont have anything to argue about! We owe no man!!!!  We are now commiting to buying our first house and I am so excited about it! We can do it knowing that we have NO DEBT!!  I Urge everyone to commit to getting out of debt. It is so liberating!!! AND IT CAN BE DONE!!!  Especially when the Bible says "Owe no man"!!!  

A version that can hold multiple bottles is already in the works for a patent.  

I wonder if this product is being marketed, even by the two experts, to the right targets.  I would think it should be marketed to the beauty industry first.  There are many stores, some specializing in nail supplies only.  Others like Sally's,  Ultra, Armstrong McCall, include nail products in their beauty supply inventory.  There are also professional nail publications, such as "Nail Pro".   I am a newly licensed nail technician and I would love to try this product in the salon.  Salons also offer related items for retail sale.  I wish that husband and wife all the best.  I personally think they do have a marketable product.  Good luck!  

We do have one of the hardest (I won't say the hardest because I've done corporate America before too!)  I don't think a lot of people realize though. 

First of all a lot of people think I'm just "playing on the computer".  It used to really bother me (A LOT) but eventually I got over it.  I just say ... Yeah, and that playing makes me money.  Would you play and earn if you could?  I just don't let it bother me anymore.  Enough people who it really matters to me know what I do.  They may not understand it ... but they know enough that I'm not playing hehe... 

I think others think it's SO EASY.  Oh, I can work when I want to (yes, you can ... to a point).  And I don't have to work if I don't want to.  Sure, you don't have to work if you don't want to but if you don't work, you don't get the moolah either ;-) 

I do love working at home and I wouldn't give it up for the world.  Although, I do work outside the home 2 days week.  Majority of my income is from my home business.  I love being home for my kids whenever they need me.  But I do work many more hours than I did when I worked full time in Corporate America.  But, the difference now is I'm still here.  I can stop working if my little guy has a boo boo that needs kissed or for me to tell him how to spell mommy. 

Working at home was one of the best decisions I've ever made.  I think these women that were on the show today don't have horrible ideas.  I just think they really need to put a lot more thought and A LOT more marketing (Alice) into their plans.  It can be done ... just don't be disillusioned by the "Get Rick Quick" schemes.  There is no such thing as getting rich quick unless you hit the lottery!  You can definitely make a living (I'm living proof) but it does take a lot of hard work, research and dedication.  Being self-employed isn't everyone.  But if you can be self-disciplined enough it can definitely be done.  

Okay, off my soap box ... hehe 

Nice to see everyone here!! 

Take care,
Anita :) 

I was just wondering where I can locate the list of things u can do to work at home. Thank u.

I became a Stay at home mom 5 years ago when I was pregnant with my twins ( Now 4 1/2) I  have always worked and was never used to staying at home so I found a hobby (atleast that is what is started out as) but I fell in love with it. I make Handmade Natural Bath & Body Products and Candles. I love doing it and am always researching new items to add to my line. 

At first I would go to Crafts Shows but they got to be to much for me so I started selling on Ebay and I have a website.  I sell all over the world and have made some freinds in the process.  

The problem is My HUSBNAD hates it because it takes a lot of my time doing it and always wants me to stop. But I can't!!! I am making money ( I am not getting rich) but I do use some of the Money to buy things we need around the house and occasionally will put some in our joint savings, (Not often enough though) If there is someting I want I can get it without use our Family money to buy it.  

My Husband says it has taken over me and our house.  

I would love to open a little shop to sell my stuff but I don't think it will ever happen, my Husband thinks that when I go back to work this will all end. I don't want it too, I wish this could be my Full Time job when it is time to go back to work.  People love my products and I don't want to stop making them. 

I does take up a lot of my time, and I never was the best House keeper. But my house is not dirty just cluttered.  

Everything I make when an order comes  in is made to order so it does take a little more time to get an order out. 

So any way does anybody have any sugesstions?  

Thanks
