Mark, it's possible that a couple-three of the kids may need to do public school for a while. The unfortunate reality is that homeschooling is expensive, and the families that can sustain it generally have a high-income breadwinner, a farm, or family help. Six people is a lot of people to support. ...

coloradomark, I do not know anything about working in sales, but I can offer the following, general advice. Credit card debt is expensive to maintain because of the high interest charges, so (at the risk of stating the obvious) do not take out any more debt. (If you have to, cut up your cards.) You...

I have been married for 16 years, have a 13, 8, and 4 year old kid Seems to me you've applied yourself where it really counts. The rest is just details. The majority of us here near your age aren't that lucky. Thanks Dantac. I do appreciate the encouragement. You are right... My family is by far th...

ebay... that dried up many years ago due to big sellers pushing out the little guy. Would selling through Amazon be any good? I think you can sell anything through there. They're a lot more than just books/CDs/DVDs. Maybe not to make a living but to add to your income. Yes, I think Amazon would be ...

Been there, done that - the owner of a tattoo shop I worked in a few years ago was like that, insisting that all the artists in the shop grab customers as they came in the door and follow them around, pumping them for information on their hobbies, their kids' names, etc and pushing them to get a ta...

Mark, what's the reason why you have to be the sole breadwinner? Are you married/partnered? Great question. My wife works her tail off homeschooling our children, taking care of us, etc... that's her calling and I gladly will work to provide for us all... even if we barely get by. We believe in hom...

I still get extremely nervous in many situations... but I figured out many years ago that when I was interviewing, to take the pressure off by constantly telling myself to see an interview as if I was talking to a friend or just answering a questionnaire...

Hi folks, I'm new here. I turned 40 last year... and feel lost. I have no career or job skills other than sales for a few months. I spent 17 years working and getting laid off from a bunch of soul-sucking, stress-inducing helpdesk jobs just to get by. I hated it to the point of wanting to give up on...
