How Mom Makes Money Online
Working Mom Tips
How do you decide if working at home is right for you?

But our economy isn't about to change and us meager middleclass moms, who everyone tends to quote in the media but not really give a damn about, are just going to have to live within it. To that end, I have decided to help you all add up the cost of mom working and see where it leaves you. This way you will be able to do a budget with your making money blog. We'll look into how that works in another post.

Fold a lined piece of paper in half from top to bottom. On one side title it ‘Money Coming In', on the other side title it ‘Money Going Out'.

Add up on the Money Coming In side: salary, bonuses, benefits your employer pays.

Add up on the Money Going Out side: daycare, lunches out, clothing and uniforms you wear to work(include shoes), gas and transportation to and from work, gas to and from daycare, and then the misc. money you spend on co-workers gifts and such.

Subtract the going out from the coming in and take a good look at the figure that is left. That is your first goal for your blog. That is how much money you want it to make if you are thinking about leaving your job and working from home.

A glitch: health insurance. If you are the one working for health insurance, keep your job. Young families need these benefits and health insurnace is too expensive. That doesn't mean you can't still work a blog and make a few extra bucks, but imho, health insurance is worth it.
