Work-from-home Ideas

[mrs.b]

Thank you for the ideas! Copyediting may be up my alley, so I'm looking into that to start, then researching a couple of the others. We've cut our expenses about as far as we're comfortable, but there's still a small gap I need to fill.

And honestly, speaking non-financially, I want to work even if we could swing the finances to eliminate one of our incomes entirely. While my husband's job is secure as far as he can tell, businesses have made random decisions before and would not want our household to be in dire straights if someone made a decision outside his control. Likewise, while I pray it never comes to pass, if he were in an accident or an unexpected health event happened, I would not want to need to explain a large employment gap, in addition to dealing with re-familiarizing myself with workplace practices while learning to care for him (or, God-forbid, grieving) just to feed my family and keep a roof over our heads. We both feel it is more responsible for us to remain a two-household income, regardless of the feasibility of eliminating one. Our goal is to put both of us in positions to earn our "minimum sustainability" amount - hence why I am pursuing the MAcc and CPA route to finish my end of the game plan - so when things are good we have double what we need to squirrel away and/or play with, and if something unforeseen happens, our household will keep on trucking if we ever had to get by on just one.
