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.

Playing the waiting game

I am waiting on payday,then I will be able to stock my store, order my candles and hopefully get somewhere with avon. I hope something happens soon, being bored is bad enough, I am bored and broke

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.

living REAL simple (help I need a life saver)

When going over finances again i realized that there is not a whole lot of room for anything. I am just talking about basic necessites, clothes for the kids, haircut for my son before school starts. My downfall is that we rent furniture, nothing extravagant. the table we eat on, the beds that three of us sleep on a washer and dryer. we cannotget finanaced and we cannot do without until we save up for it, which would never happen so we rent. I helped a little bit with that last week when they came and got my bed, now I am sleeping on my daughters bed with her in the kids room. I have sold almost all of my clothes, my lamp, my jewelry box, some of the kids toys, some of their clothes, our books for the most part, some of our vhs tapes. Next weekend i am going back to the flea market to try and sell everything else that hasn't been sold yet. I am trying to get out of debt, I just buy what is needed not wanted, I am not buying school clothes this year, I only bought what I thought they would need on the school supply list. I had to write a check last friday so we could eat, now i am in the red at the bank, this week every bit of money I get isgoing to a loan I had to get last month to buy food ( we are feeding seven) and pay some bills. I know that i am lucky because i still have a roof over my head and i have a job interview today. I just think it is ironic that by trying to spend less and live as simple as i can i am getting even more in debt, now it is to the point that I can't provide basic neccestites for my children. I have tried to use local charities for them and they give me the third degree and assume that because Ilive with my mom (who financially is in the same boat) that I should not need help. giving up my bed has helped we are saving a 140 a month now. i just do not see it because i never had it to begin with.
