OK, I may be able to quit my day job and work from home full time. I’ve got a pretty steady client that would like for me to dedicate more time to her sites. If we can negotiate a decent rate, I’ll do it. I’m just worried that she won’t be able to afford some type of regular pay schedule for me. Maybe she can, maybe she can’t. I’m willing to give her a chance.

If I can work at home, I will save so much money and so much stress. I figure that I won’t have to fork over $300 a month for gas, and $200 per month for a babysitter. That’s a house payment right there!

Now, I know what you’re thinking…how will I be able to get any work done if I have some baby at the house running amok? Well, I can do it. My toddler is nearly two years old, and she’s got her own interests. I can set my laptop up in the living room, with her drawing in the middle of the floor, or playing with her building blocks, or whatever. I wouldn’t be the first parent to run a business while raising a child.

Not only will I save myself $500 a month, but the money that does come in will be to my company. That means that I’ll be able to use it in the most tax-advantaged manner, instead of letting the government “take their share” before I even see it. Seriously, it’s my money, why should I not get a say in how it gets utilized? I’ll have to employ myself officially, because I will need a paycheck to pay the bills, but I’ll use the money as efficiently as possible.

I’m looking forward to the experience.
