Anyhow, you might be wondering why I ask these kind of questions. Well to tell you before I started making money from blogging we don't have extra cash flying around the corner. In our household we only depend on my hubby's income. We don't live in a luxurious lifestyle,yet we are happy to live with what we have and what we can afford. We are not the kind of people that will just point the finger and say we want that, and we just get that.
When I was single and went to college I could be careless spending thousands of money for leisure and for shopping. I think I made it worst when I got a job, I shop for clothes every week. Then I became a wife and a mother, my perception in life changed. I suddenly became a frugal person. I shop for less, we go places and travel for less, I use coupons and find deals to save money, you name it. Now I shop for clothes once in a blue moon. Can you believe that?
Since I am a SAHM I've been looking around the internet to see a legitimate work at home job, so I have something to do while I'm at home with my daughter. I am glad that I have stumbled on the booming business of blogging and made extra income by writing reviews from advertisers. And I enjoy doing it.
If you are asking me of what I did with my earnings? Actually 50% of what I earned goes to our household bills and keep the other half for myself. Instead of getting myself some new clothes and women stuff, I spend it for the house. I usually spend the money for our clothes, kitchenware, house decorations, and etc. Some of you have seen what I have purchased from my earnings before, this time I have purchased another remembrance. Yes! It was a week ago when I purchased a china cabinet. It took months for me to find the best deal online and the good thing is, it is totally below my price range. What a bargain!
It is not a brand new china cabinet but I am aiming to make it new. We bought some stuff to refurnish the cabinet, and it's been days that I'm working on it. I can't wait to see the new look of the cabinet. How about you? Where did your earnings go?
Blogging helps us financially. Just like when I needed something for myself, I don't need to ask hubby to buy it for me. I just use my "opportunity money", as what hubby and I call it. The next thing I do is to open another savings account. I am planning to save for our vacation to the Philippines next year. I am sharing this to everybody not because I am showing off. I am sharing this because YOU are part of my blogging journey. I hope I inspire some of you guys.
