Hello Everyone, and welcome to The Working At Home Woman’s Lifestyle. What I have decided is to live by growing the income from my efforts and opportunities to take care of myself. My income is a military retirement for 21 years. I also am an entrepreneur and have a product site at www.amway.com/myshop. This is my business and as my biggest customer both purchasing items for self and home care, there are also opportunities to purchase things from myself, for myself from a partner store which allows me to shop at a large department store and receive a share of the profit to my business site. I earn an income from my business that I add to my retirement income. I am also a book author and I have income from books that I have on Lulu.com, and I also receive revenue from my book on Amazon.com.
This is my social experiment, and I am going to keep track throughout the year. I am creating my own economy. I will only spend money on items for myself. Business expenses are captured in my business documents. I want to show regular folks that they can earn income by supplying their household with necessary items. By teaching their children to “mind their own business” you can create a legacy of wealth for your family.
I started keeping track starting in January 2021.
I shop at Fred Meyer for two reasons. Number one I am a former employee, so while I worked there I shopped there and essentially recycled the money that they were paying me. I also belong to their loyalty program and along with capitalizing on the advertised savings, I routinely get coupons that I always tie in with the advertised specials for savings every time I shop for groceries.
