I have to work part-time because my family enjoys to eat. Yes we could skim by on my husband’s paycheck, but it isn’t pretty and it isn’t good for his soul as he worries about money. So I maintain a part-time job to help out somewhat, after all his soul needs all the help it can get at this point. ;) I work part-time as a cashier, oh I know there is another name for it on the paperwork, but in my 35 plus years in the workforce I am a cashier. I have had various “cashier, sales clerk, teammate” positions over the years. My first job at 16 years old was at “T.G.&Y.”, yep I’m that old, evenings and weekends and holidays have been my life for over half my life. I’ve had some full time jobs also, but life, or I should say family always came first and for reasons that were enough for me, this is the path I have taken. I have some medical issues we are working on at the moment and some extra money, even though I can't actually physically put in more hours, is very needed at this moment to help with the cost of doctors. The reason why I want to turn my passion for crafts into some type of income. But to make the art, to sell the art, takes time and money as they say. Money is tight for us at the moment so I use Swagbucks to earn points that I then turn into gift cards. I usually go for the Amazon gift card, buy my supplies as I already have a wish list setup. All I have to do is maybe watch a few clips, answer a quick survey. This is by far no get rich quick plan, not even a get rich plan. But it does help a little and every little bit helps. Even to help out with Christmas coming up way too soon I could use my SB's to get gift cards for gifts that wouldn't cost me anything other than a little of my time that I really wasn't doing anything with anyway, because I earn these points as I'm drinking my first cup of coffee and getting ready to plan out my day. Which is something I intend to do is get my life more organized so stayed tuned for blogs where we can learn about organization together.
