An Interview with a WAHM

Interview With:

Mom's Name Valerie OBrien
Mom's Business The Traveling Vineyard
Url http://www.thetravelingvineyard.com

Q. Mom, what is your business? Tell us a little bit about it.
A. I am an Independent Wine Consultant for The Traveling Vineyard. I earn income by doing in-home wine tastings. The parties are a lot of fun for friends to get together, learn a little bit about wine, and purchase wine they have sampled and enjoyed. 95% of the wines we offer are not available in stores.

Q. How long has this business been around?
A. The business began in April 2002 and has expanded to over 200 consultants all over the country.

Q. Are you happy with your business or is there something different you
would like to do or add to your business?

A.I absolutely love my business. There is nothing better than to get together with friends and sip on wine. I love being able to teach others about wine. Whats better than making money doing something so fun!

Q. How do you feel your business can benefit others?
A. My business can help others who wish to earn a little extra income while having alot of fun. As a consultant you get to learn all you ever wanted to know about wine. Imagine siting in an intimate setting, meeting new people and enjoying a little wine.

Q. Do you feel like your business is a success in your eyes. Is this the
business that truly makes you happy?

A. This business has been wonderful. Not only do the hostess love having wine tasting parties, but I love providing the parties. I truely love going to work!

Q. What advice can you give to other moms that want to work from home?
A. If you have the will, you can do it! Look around for an opportunity or product that really excites. If you find something you beleive in, the rest will follow!

Budgeting Made Easy
© Terri Seymour

I am a strong believer in budgeting because
even with the smallest of incomes, it can help
you make your money go farther. Budgeting
is not hard and you do not need a degree in
mathematics to be able to do it. You also do
not need expensive software or online programs
to write an effective budget.

First thing you need to do is make a list of all
your bills and expenses - monthly, weekly, quarterly,
etc. I do my budget by the week because we get
a weekly paycheck. Some people would do a monthly
or bi-weekly budget. For the example, I will do a
weekly budget.

So here is an example of a list of expenses:

Mortgage $250
Groceries $300
Heat $50
Phone $75
Electric $80
Internet $20
Cable $50
Insurance $60
Car Payment $200
Credit Cards $25, $75 and $100
Gas for car $100


Now to start your budget, you would put each bill
a week or two before it is due. For example, if
your mortgage is due on the 10th of the month, you
would either have it paid the last week of the month
before or the first week of the month.

Example budget using example bills listed above with
a income of $450 a week.

March 5
Internet $20
Groceries $75
Gas $25
Credit Cards $125
Insurance $60
-----------------------
Total $305


March 12
Car Payment $200
Cable $50
Groceries $75
Gas $25
---------------------
Total $350


March 19
Mortgage $250
Groceries $75
Gas $25
--------------------
Total $350


March 26
Groceries $75
Gas $25
Credit Card $75
Heat $50
Phone $75
Electric $80
----------------------
Total $380


Now this is your very basic and simple budget.
You would want to add in things like Christmas,
birthdays, taxes, etc. when appropriate. With
a tight budget, you would try to add those in when
you have an extra payday. These come every
third month, I do believe.

What you have left is for whatever you choose to
so with it. I would recommend that you add a
weekly amount for savings/investments to help
with the future.

Also, if you want to do a budget for your business,
I would suggest doing that separately.

I simply write my budget in a notebook and go over
it every week when I write out the bills. I also then
write out my grocery list for the weekly shopping.

I keep my budget, bills, monthly statements and such
in a folder type binder. Each month when I pay a bill,
I throw out the old statement and keep the new. This
helps me keep track of things also.

Yes, sometimes it is hard to stick to a budget, but
if you don't things could get much harder and the
bills could start stacking up.

Budgeting might sound complicated, but when you
use a simple method, it gets easy very quickly. You do
not need to be an accountant or to have a expensive
software program to help you do your budgeting. A
simple notebook of paper and an ink pen or pencil is
all you need. Oh, and a calculator to speed things up
a bit. ;-) Happy Budgeting!!!
