Congrats! Laura - Cutting back on expenses can be a little overwhelming because once we get used to having something (like digital cable, for example), we start to think we "need" it. Good for you for being able to tell the difference and pursue your goals. Melissa – Isn’t it great that you can use your talents to earn thinkgs like winter coats and gas money? Congrats!

Kudos to you both for taking a leap of faith and just going for it. I feel so lucky that any money I make is icing on the cake (okay, it's really going to boring stuff like food and gas and winter coats!). The way I look at it, the only place on the payscale I could go was up. :-) If it weren’t for the fact that I was (am) a SAHM who decided to start freelancing and that leaving a 9-5 job wasn’t even a decision I had to make, I would have been petrified otherwise.
