Hello my fellow Attic people,
For those of you who don't know me yet, I am a stay at home mother of
3, Last year I had to quit my job, after my free child care was no
longer available. I tried placing them in the cheapest after school
daycare program I could find, and upping my hours at work, unfortunately I only made
min wage at 10 something an hour, and part time hours at as little as 12
hours a week in some cases. This cost me a LOT, for TWO HOURS after
school care each day for 5 days was .... $950.00!!!! By the end of the month I
was negative -
$250.00. not including the expense of gas to travel back and forth. This is when I decided I needed to MAKE MONEY FAST! I listed a few items local, and on eBay...after my first Item sold I WAS SOOOOO excited, that I decided to keep listing more... soon a month later I had made over $500.00 and was only listing small random items occasionally...!!! Although I am just learning still, and I am NOT a top rated seller ( which is my goal) I realized that I can make more staying home then I could EVER make outside of the home on a minimum wage budget!! So as some of you may know from my
YOUTUBE channel, I have been spending a LOT of time buying, and listing on ebay and other sites local to me ! I have been debating making my channel
(in additional to my other videos during the Holiday season, ) into a list of Christmas sales from December 1'st to 24th, as a countdown to 'christmas fund' accumulation calculation
( hhahaha next dr.suis right here! )... in simple terms LETTING YOU SEE HOW MUCH I MAKE but I'm still deciding on this.
We all spend a little to much MONEY on Christmas whether we try not to or not, it always seems to put people in a financial bind for the following months afterwards. SO my goals for this year,
( lets call it a PRE new years resolution shall we) is to
EARN as much as we
SPEND by December 24th! by purely using my online outlets, such as ebay,amazon,kijiji, and other local sites on facebook! budgeting has always been a weak point with me and I'm sure most of you can relate,ESPECIALLY during the holidays!. This past few years I have been VERY diligent with my spending and earning points, I have been keeping up with bills and have little debt accumulated. I hope to have 0% in the
new year. That being said If this goes well, I will be able to spend January deciding on which bank to open a family savings at, INSTEAD of deciding which bill to pay ''NEXT MONTH'' ! Maybe some attic people can join as well! we can have a MERRY OL' TIME , HAHAHa .. I know not funny! talk to you soon and happy hunting!
