Thank you for taking the time to read this!
Let me introduce myself. I was born in Vietnam in the thick of the war. I had contacted poliomyelitis which I am just barely understanding it today. I use a manual wheelchair because it affected my entire body from neck to toes. Just a glance at me I appear to be fine. Just someone who uses a wheelchair. I came to the U.S. with an Amerasian family. The family broke up and we went to different foster homes. I never got adopted. I was placed into a home for adoption, but the lady felt that she wanted to punish me for feeding the dog little jellied hotdogs for dinner and told me she wasn't going to sign the adoption papers. I know that is just plain silly, but that is just an example of the verbal abuse I took from her.
For many years I didn't have a family. Weird hugh? Who ever heard of that? Someone not having a family? I would always pray to God and cry and say when Lord. I know you didn't give me a past, when are you going to give me a future? He always knew that day would become May 4, 2002 when I married my husband. Then May 3 2003, our little angel came along. I always told my husband when we were dating that whenever I have a baby my husband would have to stay home and raise the child because I couldn't due to my weaknesses. Unless of course, my husband was pretty wealthy. That day came October 2003. He quit his job and I went back full-time.
I had spent many years working outside of the home. We tried to be good stewards with our money. Not buying needless things, not eating out too much, not carrying credit card debt, pay loans off as quickly as possible, put some away for rainy days, etc. The last few years I was making 60k a year. We had some discretionary money. After 15 years of 2nd and 3rd hand me down furniture, we finally bought some new furniture to hopefully last. We bought a house to have our daughter grow up in and for us to retire. Besides, she was sleeping in the dining room and we had lived in a drug infested neighborhood. We bought a nice car in hopes that it too will last a good long while. This is our story of where we are today.
July 2004 we moved from a no mortgage home to a respectable mortgage home. Then just two little months after that, my "magnent for an accident" husband got hit. Again, for the 2nd time in our 3 year old marraige, we had to go and buy him another car. We had just finished paying off his other one a few months back and I was thrilled to being able to make double and triple payments on our house note. So we decided to buy a big huge vehicle that has a shield for accidents.
October 2005 my handicap lift van (also debt free) died and we couldn't afford to replace it because those are just so expensive. Just to give you a picture of how much they cost. In October of 2002 we purchased a 1994 Ford E150 with 60k miles. It already had a handicap lift and a swivel chair so I could transfer into the drivers seat to drive it. We purchased it for $18k and still had to put about $500 into it to make it accessible for me to drive. So you see, it wasn't in the budget to buy another one. So began the journey of my husband driving me 45 minutes (on a great weather day) one way back and forth to work.
Then the summer of 2006, I found myself laid off from what was a stable company. I searched and searched, but I couldn't find a job willing to pay me a fraction of what I was making. We had spent over $3k in gas alone I couldn't see my husband and daughter driving me for a small fraction of a pay. We had an added complication in that my husband is a notary and his assignments are usually less then a 24 hour notice. We always stressed over who was going to watch our little tyke. It wasn't like we could have a set babysitter because jobs didn't come every day and they came at any hour of the day. It was so difficult to drive me back and forth to work as well as trying to find constant last minute babysitters. Living a life of a notary when you have a little one around and a wife who can't drive herself to work, isn't an easy pickle!
So the question becomes; what do we do now? Now that the sustaining income is no longer, we can't find income to come close to what the former was, and we have these fancy bills?
I had done some research and heard that people earn a living working at home doing a miriad of things. So we made the plunge and decided this would fit me the best at this time. Working from home would afford my husband to take off at whims notice to do his notary job, I could somewhat set my schedule and most of all get a fraction that pay the outside jobs were wanting to give while not spending the money on gas.
I've created this site so that you too can find out how to earn at home. Perhaps working full time from home isn't for you. Perhaps you want to just get a little bit of side money. Perhaps you'll think this is a lot of work for a few extra bucks. Perhaps you'll love what I have to offer and never knew these things existed!!
Thanks once again and welcome aboard!!
