[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you consider taking casual work or volunteering? A nice example of the former is working a few hours a week (usually weekend afternoons) as a sign-spinner. You stand in front of a retail location, normally on a busy thoroughfare and spin a large rectangular sign in elaborate, fast-moving ways. This type of marketing is very popular with mattress retailers, as merely one example. It's also a great workout and fun way to interact with the community[/quote]

I took the trouble of extending this idea and would appreciate a response.[/quote]

I'm a SAHM who does not need to work for money.  I think in such a case (not needing money), it is better that such jobs are left for people who need to earn money to meet their needs.  It could be college students who are putting themselves through school (cause parents are not able to afford their college), or retirees (some people did not earn enough or save enough to retire comfortably),  WOH people (cause they need to work), people without insurance who have faced a catastrophic loss monetarily, or even new immigrants to this country.

Would you encourage your daughters to work? If not are you encouraging their education? Serious question.

Honestly, if only those who HAD to work for money did, our society (that you reap the benefits of) would be in a very different place.[/quote]

I am very well educated, which enabled me to get a high paying job, which enabled me to save a ton of money and which enabled me to also find a spouse who was well-educated and high earner.  As a result,  I am now a SAHM, I help my kids with their homework and enrichment. My kids (DD and DS) are high achievers.  They will also have my support in the college application process and will likely get into a high paying STEM based field at college.  I will pay for their education, so they will not have college debt.  I will be around to help them with their kids so that their life becomes easier.  Being an educated wealthy SAHM  allows me to help my kids and grand-kids.  So, yes, my DDs will work but, they will work SMART not work HARD. [/quote]

Considering that you don’t seem to know whether you have daughters or sons, I think you need to work a little HARDER.[/quote]
