Value...more than $$

[NovaScotiaGirl]

You are a Mom so you are always to be valued Keep on doing what you can and glad this makes you so happy. And also thanks for reminding us all to involve our kids in saving so they don't struggle or spend to freely when they get older.

One of the best brags i've read! You spoke the truth and reminded all of us that each and everyone of us HAS a purpose in life. You all a truly amazing human being for being ill and still trying to help your family in whatever way you can. i hope that you feel better soon. And keep your chin up and keep smiling

TY, you put exactly how I feel into words ((huggs)) (our situations are very similar i think)..... always remember ...you are always of value ,its whats in your heart not how your body works, that what really counts and is the most value

Just joined SC and am overwhelmed with the kindness in this community

Similar situation. Haven`t had a job since 1990 because of health issues. It makes one feel good to contribute in any way possible.

You have been given an incredible opportunity to teach your children the value of money & how to be more than a paycheck. As a working mom I would say you go girl, you have a far greater value then you know.

I know how you feel its nice to be able to help with the money especially when you dont work.

You articulated my situation too! Yes, my cash flow is better, I see the actual day light and have time to take care of my health and my family...plus get creative AND declutter too! It is a win-win situation, one year back not so much.. and I was bitter, but now.. I think back and think I would have ended up burned out.. too many years of corporate jungles and high profile politics... happy now to be able to share, donate, and learn so much too.. it is amazing the value of a single dollar compared to before.. embracing the back to basics and loving every moment of it too!

way to go for being so honest first off- we are always valued -you are contributing in a great way-saving money for your family- dont forget that

Its not the title behind the name, its the name behind the title!

One forwarded email I just love is titled:

Just a Mom

When asked at the DMV what her job title is, instead of saying she is a stay at home mom, she says " I am a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations! Priceless

I feel that contributing to a household comes in many forms, not always money!

Your value is in loving and doing whatever you can to help your family, and you are doing that with your couponing. I'm sure you contribute in many ways as well. Good luck to you in the future! Happy Couponing!!

Hi there, I read your post. Your most important job is being a Mother! It's extremely hard to keep working when you have health issues. I admire your strength and courage - jobs are just job tasks - they aren't who we truly are as people. I found when I injured myself badly - that I had to stop cold I could not use my hands for many months. I had alot of time to think - I would use your down time health wise to grow. You are in a beautiful kingdom here on SC, the people have lovely spirits here and everyone will assist you! Get yourself feeling better - you truly don't need alot of money to live. There is so much information on this site that you can utilize to virtually not even spend money anymore. Welcome to SC - and get feeling better okay! Remember you are an awesome human being and that's all that counts!
