Right now my whole income comes from the internet and mystery shopping. Most of it is from the internet as it just cost too much in gas to do the mystery shopping on a daily basis so I tend to hold out for the big jobs.

The other day someone told me that I don’t make enough from home and that I should find a real job. I told them that I have been looking for a real job, for over 2 years. I’m over qualified and all that fun stuff. They pretty much told me that I was lazy and stupid. This morning I decided to look back at what I made when I worked at Walmartand compare it to what I make now. You want to know something interesting. I make more now then I did working at Walmart.I don’t have to pay to eat out for lunch. I don’t have to pay for gas and I can work around my schedule. I figure since that might be the only type of job I could get right now I’m doing really well. Since I make more then I did why would I want to quit what I’m doing and go back to working for someone else?

I’m sure other people who work from home, but don’t make thousands a month get this too. I guess people just don’t get it. Maybe I’m just not a greedy as they are. Maybe I am and that’s why I’m not going to quit doing the online thing, the potential to make a lot of money is here, I just have to find what works for me.

I found a great post written by a fellow blogger about the pros and cons of working from home. He makes some really great points in his post about the wonderful visions many people have when they think of telecommuting or freelancing, mostly these visions involve travel and lots of free time.

This is not true at all, if your starting from scratch, you don’t have the time or money to travel. Your too busy working your butt off! Now if you telecommute that is a different story as it is usually at a job that will pay for your time, not your effort. It would be nice if it were all free time and play, but it’s just not the way it is. Of course, if you have a spouse with a good job it may be different for you and you may be able to afford some free time.
