Nobody really enjoys working even though some people may claim to love their job. We do it because we have to. There are bills to pay, kids to feed and vacations that we just have to have. But wouldn’t it be nice to work from home in your pajamas?

We all know someone who has a friend of a friend who has worked from their home. I know first hand people who’ve sold Jewelry and done parties, sold cosmetics or lingere. Of course that has been a staple of stay at home moms for years selling makeup, or other items from purchasing a small part of a larger franchise. But you can only sell but soo much from home. At some point you would have to leave the home to find customers. Once you leave the home it is no longer \”legitimate home employment\”. it becomes a day job.

I read about home employment or starting your own business in the Pennysaver. But all these have start up costs and are rarely what they claim to be. They mostly require some type of purhase which makes me believe that the only person prospering from this idea is the person who bought the ad!

I believe that I am not a lazy person. I would be happy to have my work monitored as I really need a second income to make ends meet and am willing to to whatever it takes to work from home.

I am currently working as a 1099 employee outside the home and the self-employment tax is killing me. It is better for the individual I work for to pay me this way so he does not have to pay the taxes; however, I must pay a 15% tax on all money earned after expenses are deducted.

Also, with the so called \”home employment\” scams being offered, you would have to file paperwork to set up your business. So this is really not an option for me or most people looking for an additional income from a job that could be done from home.

I would love to come up with some type of intellectual property that I could copywright; however, I don’t believe anything is new anymore, it has all been done before. Even if I did come up with an idea, who has the money to copywright it, have a prototype made and have it produced? I imagine that is why people need financial backing. If I had that I wouldn’t need a second job!

If anyone out there has truly learned a way to make money from home, I beg of you, please call me! As usual, there are still bills to pay, braces to pay for, groceries to purchase and vacations I would love to dream about and someday have the time and money to take!
