Yes! Yes! Yes!! Just last week I had a great conversation with Jennifer Hugon (who you met at Creative Dig) and she told me that a big part of going in biz for herself had to do with saving money on these exact same things! You both have me totally inspired now to see just how much would I save.

Plus…on the flight back to AZ I started reading my book I won from you…and Wow!! What a gift! You my friend are a gift as well!!

Peace & Love.

Thanks, Beth! I agree totally about eating at home – it is better for you and cost so much less. It is even more important when you have kids. Thanks Again!!

For a mother with younger kids it could save babysitting or pre-school fees. It also is a big time saver. Usually, by being home you eat better at less cost, have the time to fix things instead of shell out money to someone else, have more time to clip coupons and use them when you shop for groceries (or even other things such as haircuts), and much more. Best of all a lot of the strategies you can implement add $ to your bottom line tax-free. More time to spend with your family and develop those relationships and do what is important to you is priceless. Great post!

I love the way you think, Sandy. Don’t forget to add in the cost of doctor visits from all the work-stress related ailments employees suffer.

I love this. It’s amazing the corners you learn to cut when the money isn’t there. (IE, I used to spend $65 on a hair cut every six weeks – now I either cut it myself, have a friend cut it, or would go to the beauty school.)

Great piece! And that doesn’t even count the time savings you’d accrue from quitting your job!

I LOVE this, Sandy.

Marcy and I and some friends were just talking about this craziness in this culture of the two job family. And the pressure that everyone work — aka, MAKE MONEY.

And yet, working can COST money — and health and sanity, more importantly.

I am oversimplifying here because I know you “get it,” but Barbara — more people could use this info, so write that piece!
