May 2017 Income Report

May 2017 Income Report

Welcome to my May 2017 blogging & income report! This month's income report is unique because I hardly did any physical work and most my income was completely passive! The only work I did was teaching piano and fulfilling a couple Etsy orders (about an hour or two total). I went out of town twice and spent a lot of time with family so working took a backseat. So making almost $1,200 is a great feeling. Read below for details on how I did it! Check out my past income reports here. My personal goal is to make as much money as I can from home while not sacrificing any of my family responsibilities. This means I’m cooking, cleaning, going on field trips, arranging play dates, driving to/from sports, etc. and then working from home in my “spare” time. I started My Income Journey to show you how it’s possible to make money and save money from home! I hope you can gain some insight into what works (or doesn’t) and improve your own income journey! I love being a stay at home mom and think everyone should have the option to make money from home! This post contains affiliate links/ads, see my disclosure for details.

How To Get FREE Home Phone Service!

How to Get FREE Home Phone Service!

One of the easiest money saving tips my family has implemented this year was cutting our home phone bill from around $50/month to a FREE phone service. I wish we would have made this change years ago! The phone service is completely free and we just pay around $5 a month for taxes. Saving $45/month is HUGE and it didn't require us to change our lifestyle at all. We kept our same phone number, still have voice mail, caller ID, etc. And it's seriously only $5 per month...total....just some annoying taxes is all you pay. Here's how to do it.

Investing In Stocks As A Stay-at-Home Parent

Investing in Stocks as a Stay-at-Home Parent

This post is brought to you by Andrew from slickbucks.com. This page contains ads/affiliate links. See my full disclosure for details.   What do stay-at-home parents and stock investors have in common? On the surface, they may not appear to be similar activities; however, there is the aspect of independence to consider. Just like parents who stay at home to manage a household, individuals who choose to make a living out of trading equity securities have a certain leeway in terms of managing their daily schedules, and both activities can also be treated as full-time jobs if so desired. Stay-at-home parents can also be stock investors and vice versa; however, trading equity securities has more of a lucrative potential. Thanks to internet technology in the 21st century, the idea of a mother who works from home is hardly farfetched; after all, telecommuting and freelancing have greatly expanded because setting up a home office or workstation has never been easier. In 2007, a New York Times article highlighted an interesting trend among Japanese homemakers who ventured into the world of stock and currency trading on a full-time basis. Many of these investors were women who fired up their online trading platforms at night, shortly after they had put their children to bed. Among these very active traders, a few success stories were found, but there were also tales of deep regret as women traded on margin and lost family savings due to the risky positions they took on the markets.
