I am New to SFV
Posted
HELLO EVERYONE, I AM NEW TO THIS SITE. I DECIDED TODAY THAT I NEEDED TO MAKE CHANGES IN MY LIFE THAT WILL BENEFIT ME AND MY DAUGHTER. I AM A SINGLE PARENT OF A LITTLE GIRL AND I DO NOT GET SIGNIFICANT HELP FROM FAMILY AND I DO NOT RECEIVE CHILD SUPPORT ALTHOUGH IT IS COURT ORDERED. WITHOUT GETTING INTO TOO MUCH DETAIL, CAUSE IT WOULD REQUIRE ME WRITING PAGES AND PAGES, I WILL SAY THAT CHILD SUPPORT OR A SECOND JOB IS NOT AN OPTION FOR ME AT THIS TIME. WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO IS FIND WORK FROM HOME OR OTHER WAYS TO MAKE EXTRA INCOME LEGALLY. I WAS READING A FEW POSTS ON THIS FORUM AND I JUST WANTED TO COMMENT AND SAY THAT IT WAS GREAT ADVICE THAT YOU GUYS GAVE BUT SOME OF YOU SHOULD REALIZE SOMETIMES ITS EASIER SAID THAN DONE. SOME PEOPLE CAN NOT SET ASIDE 5 BUCKS OR 20 BUCKS A MONTH..SOMETIMES ITS THAT HARD THAT YOU CANT MAKE THAT SACRAFICE. THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE STRUGGLED KNOW WHAT I MEAN. IF I AM DOWN TO MY LAST 10 BUCKS AND ITS JUST ME AND MY DAUGHTER, I WILL NOT SET ASIDE 5 BUCKS TO SAVE. ITS KINDA DANGEROUS TO BE WITHOUT MONEY, GOD FORBID I GET STUCK OUT ON THE ROAD OR SOMETHING...UNDERSTAND? SO MY POINT IS..I NEED IDEAS TO MAKE MORE MONEY WHEN RIGHT NOW I CAN NOT AFFORD TO SAVE MONEY. IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS PLEASE HELP ME OUT. RIGHT NOW I AM ONLINE DOING SEARCHES ON THE WEB FOR ONLINE WORK AT HOME. ITS SO EASY FOR SOMEONE THAT IS NOT IN THE SAME BOAT AS US NOT TO UNDERSTAND HOW HARD IT CAN BE TO MAKE ENDS MEET SO WHEN PEOPLE SAY THEY ARE STRUGGLING ON HERE..TRUST ME I TRUELY TRUELY UNDERSTAND.

soulprovider..I fully understand what you are going through I myself am a single mother of one (6 yr old w/one one on the way)I make about $2,100 a month with $1,000 for rent, $313.00 carnote, $125.00 auto insurance,& child care cost..no child support!!! I know God get's me through every month! I tried a second job but my son has ADHD and I pretty much never spent time with him Mon-Fri the childcare provider was raising him and I didn't know how to deal with him on the weekends because he was all over the place and I didn't like the fact someone else was raising my child at all so I had to quit the second job, now that I am expecting #2 I have been looking for something I can do from home for extra money, I haven't been successuful yet but I am not giving up...and don't you either, things will only get better it's almost like you have to go through the storm before the sun shines so keep your head up!!!!

Do you have any hobbies? If so, you maybe do a small business out of your home.

Have you looked at www.wahm.com? They have a ton of work-at-home jobs listed on there, and even other ways you can make money online. I've also got some ideas from www.stretcher.com. There's a lot of articles on there where single mothers tell how they make ends meet.http://www.stretcher.com/menu/1income.htm

Ok- the company that I started working from home with was www.workathomeagent.net it's phone based, no costs here except you need a headset and a quiet place to work. I used to work nights after my daughter went to bed, and before she got up. You don't make a ton of money there, but it's a good way to start working from home.

www.workplacelikehome.com is a great website where you can find out info about both work at home jobs, and work at home businesses. ( I saw someone already posted wahm.com)

I currently work from home full time- do not get CS because my STBX is a mess..and I am supporting myself. The site I gave is a backup for me, not my primary income, but it's a start. I currently have three different companies I contract with- a primary, and two secondaries. And- I've been working from home since 2005, so I know it can be done.

I do wish you the best of luck in your search.

just a sug. I am a mortgage loan officer and I have a few people that i pay to gen biz for me. it is a commission only thing but alls you are doing is taking mortgage app. If they turn into closed loans you get paid. This maybe something that if you know a loan officer or someone that works in a sales position that you maybe able to do some marketing for them and make some extra cash.

I work in a call center assisting agents who work from home. I am pretty new here so I don't have many opinions from the work at home agents, but it is totally legit. If I had the discipline to work from home I would have done it instead. Hey I actually assist with the workathomeagent.net that supamama is referring to. If you want to check into this opportunity try workathomeagent.comthis is the first step. Hey it really is a small world...

another great resource centre to find business ideas is go to Chapters in their magazine section. There are lots of magazines talking about business ideas...one magazine will keep you busy for a while till you look them all up.




Writing a guide for personal change, fullment and discovery for children with dead beat parents. If you as a parent, or the child have a story to share, would love to include it.
