It's official....we're insane

Frequently, Richie and I talk about different things we'd like to do to make extra money, or things we'd be interested in doing for work. Those talks had become more frequent in the recent past as our savings account was drained from our little "bundle-of-joy". We thought maybe we'd try one idea here, another there, we just didn't think we'd be trying them all within 2 weeks! As of now, between the two of us, we are working 6 jobs. Like I said, we're insane! Richie has his steady job managing American Construction Supply, I have my steady "job" of managing the storage units here, we both work to promote the Woodside Dance Hall (which technically isn't a job, but we treat it like one). Then Richie got into Primerica, where he'll be learning about investments etc and helping families with their finances. We're still not to excited by the fact that it is a pyramid set up (and they never admit that it is) and the fact that Richie is going to have to talk to friends etc about their income. Other than that, we think it could turn into something really great. Richie also started his own business with his cousin Kam and 2 other friends doing concrete enhancement, namely sealings, stains, etc. They are calling it Summit Concrete Enhancement. They only officially started it on Saturday and already have 1 for sure job and 1 other bid! Then, I had decided I wanted to contribute more financially and Richie did some research on working from home. We found a deal where you work for ebay/google doing advertisements, selling, and possibly creating your own website to advertise on. But you create your own business and get it licensed and everything. You only have to work 10 hours a week and can do it whenever it's convenient so we'll see. It's much bigger than we originally thought, which makes us extremely anxious. Either it's going to be one big bust, or we're going to be skillionaires! So...

If anyone needs concrete supplies


a storage unit


to learn how to swing dance


a seal on your driveway


advice about insurance and investing


or advertising something on the internet


just give us a call! :)

Don't forget that Richie can sell Avon or MaryKay too. He would make a great "beauty consultant."
