About Me -
My name is Stefani. I am a work at home mom of 4 kids! I own a network of websites and blogs dedicated to helping moms make and save money at home. I also enjoy doing product reviews of family friendly products and websites.
I spent a majority of my whole 33 years of my life living in an apartment. I remember when I was young, I used to beg my mom to find a house for us to live in. I always had envied my friends who lived in houses. The only thing benefit of renting an apartment back then was the joys of using the pool and spa at my apartment complex.
Once I was 18, I then rented my own apartment. I still dreamed of owning my own house. I wanted to live in the same house for the rest of my life just like my grandparents. Once I had my daughter Ariyona, I rented my first house. It was a small house in the mountains and I loved it. Things did not work out with me and her father, so back to apartment living I went. After a few years I was able to rent a house again. I wanted to buy that house so my children could grow up in the same house like I always wanted to do. I lived in that house for almost two years when the time came that I was able to buy my own house.
I have been a homeowner for almost three years now. I now know the benefits of renting and sometimes wish I still was a renter. With owning your own home, you also own all the rights to the problems that occur with your house. Have you ever had to buy a water heater for your house? If I had any problems with anything that went wrong in any of the apartments I lived in, I would simply call the maintenance man to come fix it. Now the maintenance man happens to be my husband. I dread when things go wrong with our home. When our water heater went out a couple months ago, I had to spend my hard earned money to buy a new one. Then my maintenance man had to figure out how to install it. He hooked it up wrong and I had to take cold showers for a few days. Not fun at all! Luckily he figured it out but I dread the next problem that comes my way. We have had to pay a plumber to come out a few times to fix the sewer drain from tree roots. My water main in the back yard broke and was flooding my yard.
So I guess if you are a renter, enjoy the benefits of handing your problems over to someone else!

I can afford my house, so I don't have these problems.
right every body can afford...
Work from home
Yes there is a sense of "I'm cool" I get to work at home. It is low pay (some even make this their sole income--this can be done living in a dirt poor area I guess). It is not impressive work by any means unless you're one of the unemployable and under-educated. I thank god I was never forced to go this route. These companies really do prey on these people's "I'm different look at me I work from home" mindset. Many can't function socially or are isolationists..they search out this work, home school their children,and play all day or chat on blogs. And then they feel they have to share every detail of their lives including their money problems -- I wonder why.
