That is so true. I've done small things here and there, but I know that I'm at least good at doing without and living on a very small income, even when we had 5 kids at home... so we're lucky in that I don't HAVE TO go work in order to make it, but it would be nice to have extra.

My mom has been a self employed artist for decades and paints on motorcycles. She makes good money, but is getting tired of all the travel. She just wants to stay home. Sadly, she was really REALLY bad at getting herself into debt, and not saving anything, so she has no choice now.

I'm trying to make good choices and find my "thing"... I have given myself a bit of a deadline to get to a point of making something $$$ wise consistently or I'll go get a job.
