Hi there! Welcome to Mrs. Midlife Money! My name is Naomi and I’ll be your writing host on this journey.
Have you ever looked around in midlife and wondered, “Is this all there is?” Go to work, live paycheck to paycheck, wash, rinse, repeat…
This is what had been going through my head for years. I was seemingly doing just fine – had a job, made OK money, worked hard, but found myself constantly worried about money.
I followed all of the advice for budgeting, saving and investing in my 401k, but it just didn’t seem like I was getting ahead. There were only so many coupons that could be clipped or coffees to make at home.
I desperately wanted to stay home with my son. I needed to figure out a way to make more money from home.
I didn’t want to make $1.24 taking endless surveys. I wanted to make real, tangible money that could actually help contribute to our family’s living expenses. An amount that could maybe replace my 9-to-5 J-O-B nightmare.
The one hiccup is that because I had a baby, as well as limited sleep and energy, everything needed to be done online, and on my schedule.
I couldn’t guarantee I would be available for a 2 p.m. meeting. I might be sitting on the couch for the 10th hour watching “Beat Bobby Flay” on repeat because my son won’t sleep the second I set him down.
This is how the idea for this blog came to be. I am going to use myself as a “make money from home” guinea pig.
The ideas on this blog have either been done by me, or I intend to do them. I really want to have this blog be a resource for anyone looking to make a better life for themselves and their families, no matter their age.
Thanks for visiting and definitely reach out if you have any comments, ideas or stories you’d like to share.
