I do surveys and I was very skeptical at first. But I did my research and there are some legit sites out there.

I found on- demand service difficult with my responsibilities as a mother. But I know there are other companies that allow you to take the work you want as you are able to do it. You just have to get hired!

It's all about looking...I totally agree, Maria. It's all about looking at the BIG picture and figuring out what makes sense for you. For example, people that coupon like crazy and yet pay credit card interest or have other consumer debt? That is mind-blowing to me.<br />And three cheers for doing your own home repairs! My husband and I have done almost all of our own home renovations and repairs (including ripping out and redoing an entire bathroom). It was really scary at first, but it's amazing how much we were able to learn from my father-in-law or even just YouTube. If nothing else, now we know what's worth doing ourselves vs. paying a professional to do (e.g. We did all our own plumbing for our first bathroom...probably wouldn't do that again). But minor to moderate renovation and repairs, for sure. I can't imagine how much money we've saved by doing it ourselves.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060001124102106893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5267817124201916027.post-33804746702960584672013-10-01T15:23:58.539-07:002013-10-01T15:23:58.539-07:00About editing, in my experience, the field isn'...About editing, in my experience, the field isn't quite as sparse as you make it out to be, especially for inexperienced and untrained persons. Having graduated in English and studied technical writing, my dream was to do freelance from home. I had a website and scoured various editing sites where plenty of people offer services and work to be done. With my experience being limited to schooling, I almost never won a bid. Other people may have better luck, but I just want to mention that that is an actual career for people and isn't so easy to break into.

Freecycle is awesome for this. So is avoiding trips to Target. Finding ways to trim spending can be just as helpful as getting a job outside the home that doesn't pay all that well. If you can fix a toilet yourself and only spend $10 on the parts, that is a whole lot better than paying a plumber $250 to do it (I have done both. After the plumber incident, I vowed to figure out how to do it myself!)<br /><br />My mother was awesome at this. She put in our sprinkler system, mowed the lawn, changed lighting fixtures, painted the house, fixed broken vacuums, and so on. If it was a 'manly' job, she was the one to do it so that my dad could spend more time lawyering.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14933724121437910861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5267817124201916027.post-3336758934248220822013-09-30T21:04:58.959-07:002013-09-30T21:04:58.959-07:00I'm timid about a lot of things (rollercoaster...I'm timid about a lot of things (rollercoasters, for instance) but craigslist doesn't worry me much, probably because I've been using it for years without ever having a bad experience. When I'm tutoring or teaching piano students, I'm usually working with kids/teens, and my first interaction is with the parents. I ask them questions about their kids and usually talk to them on the phone before I meet with them in person, and I feel comfortable from the answers that the kid actually exists and it's not a weird setup. If anyone showed up at my house for piano lessons without a child in tow then I would know something was up. I have taught adult piano students before and when I do that I have them come at a time when my husband is home. I haven't tutored an adult but if I were to do that I would meet them in a public place (like a Panera or a library). <br /><br />When I go to someone's house for the first time (either for a lesson or to buy something), I let my husband know where I'm going (the exact address) and when, and I text him when I'm about to get out of the car and tell him if he doesn't hear from me again in like 10 minutes to be worried and call the police. <br /><br />As far as selling things, a lot of craigslist sellers will ask you to meet them in a public place (a parking lot at a restaurant, etc.) instead of at their house. I let people come to my house because often craigslist people won't show up, or won't show up when they say they will, and I don't want to load my kids up and wait somewhere for them. What I usually do is give people an intersection near me and then tell them to text me when they're actually on their way and then I will give them the house address. That way I don't feel like I'm giving my address out to anyone who emails me. If I feel weird about it at all, or if I'm selling something heavy that they will have to come into the house to get, then I have them come at a time that my husband is home. Otherwise, I meet them at the front door or in the driveway with the stuff and don't invite them into the house. (Everyone I've bought stuff from does that too.)<br /><br />-Bethcalliope_617https://www.blogger.com/profile/06465061686516268549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5267817124201916027.post-69848800375800986982013-09-30T09:43:29.726-07:002013-09-30T09:43:29.726-07:00My question is - have you ever felt uncomfortable ...My question is - have you ever felt uncomfortable advertising goods or services on craigslist? Probably I'm old-fashioned, but any tips on how you went about feeling comfortable using that so extensively? Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10683837213373639686noreply@blogger.com
