2008-04-03T10:12:00.001-04:00

As an educated professional with no children, I used to go into job interviews with very specific questions in mind to ask. Most of my questions were about the benefits package. I wanted to know if health and life insurance, paid vacation days, retirement plans and so on were included in the compensation. I always knew that when I had children I would not work, but that seemed so far away.

Then one day my husband and I decided it was time. We conceived very quickly and our precious little boy was here in thirty-seven short weeks. That’s when the journey into work-at-home life began. I actually had a terrific boss who let me bring the baby to work with me and work a lot from home. I did that for awhile, but ended up where I knew I belonged all the time…at home.

Telecommuting With A Young Child At Home

Before I started to work from home I would have missed out on most of these innocent activities. Now I continue to type, secure and confident that I (thank God), have a life of my own and can spend more quality time with my child.

My life is truly the tastiest blend of all worldly ingredients: I "earn my keep", I am "at home for the family", and I don't have to "pay someone to take care of our son". Most important, I say: I now get to do something I like and not wonder about every little thing my son does when I’m working!

Credit Repair Can Be Your Ticket To Lower Living Expenses

2006-11-17T08:58:00.000-05:00

There are few problems in life that can be more damaging than poor credit. Poor credit translates into a low credit score, causing all manner of trouble for American citizens.

A low credit score can have very damaging effects on one’s financial life and well being. For example, a low credit score can mean higher interest rates when purchasing a home.

Higher interest rates on a home mean a higher house payment. Having a house payment start at a high level means that one will not be able to afford as nice a house as he or she would if he or she were starting with a high credit score.
Some people with low credit scores would like to refinance the home they do own, but are unable to because the interest rate they receive will make their house payment too steep.

Even with the abundance of credit card offers most of us receive in the mail, those with low credit scores do not have the opportunity to obtain a credit card. Credit cards are often portrayed in a negative light, but they do have their uses. More
