[quote=Anonymous]My daughter (adopted internationally) is now in college. I joined SMBC when I was 31 and did not travel to meet my daughter until I was 40. I learned everything from my local DC group. I worked a full time job that offered plenty of overtime (Sat. 1.5 pay and Sunday 2x pay) and also worked odd jobs like babysitting, pet sitting, house sitting. I bought a (very small) house where I could rent out the basement as a separate unit. So, it was all about the money. Knowing I would not be able to work those extra hours once my daughter came along, I still had passive income from my renters -- even to this day. Almost always a first year law student or similar. Ya gotta plan, and I am a mean planner :-) Best best thing ever. [/quote]
