starting over AGAIN!

I am having to start all over again, I am still wanting to be out of debt before I am thirty. That way I am not carrying my twenty year old mistakes into my thirties. to do that though is going to be tough. One of my mistakes is renting furniture, I know that I am paying a lot for rented furniture over paying cash but we could not afford all at once to buy beds for the children and a washer and dryer so I am stuck with. I did however make the decision to get rid of my rented bed and I am sharing a bed with my daughter now ( she is five ) I also share a room with both my kids so it was okay. I am currently having to pay more for the rent since my mom lost her job. I am also having to pay out of pocket about 150 a month for my sons treatment for his eyes since insurance does not cover autism. needles to say we are living below poverty level and trying to raise two special needs kids and get out of debt at the same time. i will continue to post as things come up for better or worse.

selling avon

Well I started selling avon last week and did better than expected for my first order, so I am hoping that it continues to go well. I am planning on looking at stores to rent out next summer, I am going to work my tale off this winter and next spring to see that it happens. I am taking the training courses and listening to my upline, I am also still selling items on ebay, and I am hoping to break into the candle business soon. with all the different ways of making money I am hoping to eventually start paying down my debt so that I can buy a home for my kids.

countdown to something new

next week I am able to start a new project, I am going to be able to order the candles, and other merchandise and hopefully get my website up and running, I am hoping to generate enough money this way to start paying my debts off. I have realized that I have a lot to look forward to in the future and I would like to be able to start over.The best way to do that is to pay off the old debt I had with my ex husband so that it does not hold me back.

trying something again

I am going to try to sell avon as well as do the flea market and ebay. I am hoping that if I doenough things to generate income something will happen and I will get out of debt. It seems as if everyday I am finding new debts and no answers. I am glad that I gave myself three years because it will take all three to get started.

slowly getting nowhere

I have done everything this summer that I could to get extra money to pay bills and all I have managed to do is get further behind, I am going to attempt to again open a home daycare with low rates to help those that need daycare and can't pay a lot and hope that I can earn a little something on the side so that I can take care of my kids myself and pay my bills. i take one small step forward and two huge steps back everytime.

taking one step forward and then 2 steps back

I received my child support today, yea! it is always good to get money, I used every bit of it to pay back a loan I had out from two weeks ago ( i had to feed my kids) so I am going to renew the loan so that I can get clothes for my children and food for them ( school starts in 2 days, and they have outgrown everything and have to take their lunches) So I am hoping to go back to the flea market this weekend with more stuff and use that money to cover the bank.
