Here are your Dollar Stretcher Tips for September 21, 2017 Motivated to Save Seeing the people who have survived the hurricanes reminded me that a lot of what we buy really isn't necessary. Therefore, I decided that for the next month, I would only buy the essentials, and I'm going to give a portion of what I save to hurricane relief.

I'm wired that way. Do what I can for my fellow friend or family member (not necessarily in that order). I think that God gave me that nurturing spirit. And I think to go with it is what works best for me or at least when I am at my best. Maybe I should set up my desk with a sign saying "How Can I Help You?" It makes me laugh but it's true.

What to Say When Asked About Working at Home
What do you say when your friend asks you about working at home? My friend and neighbor texted me this week. She needed me to help look after her sweet children while she went back to work. Our texts back and forth consisted of me assuring her that all will be well and I've got her back. Her texts to me were of how much she will miss her babies and how it's time to start looking for work at home solutions. Oh! How I wish I had the information she needs right now! I know how to blog at home, but how to have it replace an income? It hasn't quite happened for me so I'm not sure I can tell … [Read more...]
