BG-huge demand for home daycare in West Calgary if you lived here-usually pays about $50 per day per kid-of course housing is more expensive here and I can't see you moving across country for that. Other things to consider( as well as getting a job) are foster care or respite foster care or FT or PT care for an adult with a disability( the income from these is generally tax free if the care is in your home as per Rev Canada). As well if you have any experience with children with disabilities, many families are looking for PT respite or teaching assistance in their home for them-in AB this pays up to $25.09 per hr for a developmental aide paid for by the govt. Not sure about Ontario. Many people are also looking for elder care but this may not be your interest or skill set. None of these may interest you but just food for thought! Goodluck with whatever you decide to pursue work wise.

My goals are: to clean the every closet, pantry and storage up and sell or donate the stuff I don't need/use, to save more and spend less money (buying less, less shopping, less eating out, etc), to save for traveling/backpacking in the summer.
I've learned in the past year that I'm actually better off without buying unnecessary items (including many food items) or even taking freebies which I don't need - less clutter and healthier lifestyle!Last edited by littleturquoise; Mon, Jan 26th, 2015 at 03:32 AM.

Being organized saves money for sure! I am starting to get ready for summer sports and taking inventory of what we need and what we can sell to put towards what we need. We have tons of too small cleats etc that are bring posted for sale to take our space back and get a few $. I also went through my youngests summer clothing and he needs nothing!

Cleaned up the budget/bank account since Friday is payday. Moved forward to next budget period $100 for groceries (didn't shop too much this month trying to use up stuff and redeemed $50 in PC pts so that helps to keep the cash) $50 Misc and $187.09 for GAS. WOW! And I used some $ from gas from last budget period to pay for something. Also have $70 credit on one MasterCard and $115 credit on the other. Building the one for a Costco shopping spree lol

Put another $200.00 on income tax installment for 2014 and will be making another in the next few days. Hoping to be all caught up in March. I also contacted my employer to have another $370.00 taken off per month so that I will not be back in installments for 2015, the paperwork is in the mail.
Our oldest son moved into his new room downstairs this weekend, really pleased as we didn't borrow to complete the reno downstairs.
We are freshening up ds1's old room son that ds2 can move into that room while we gut his room and spray foam the walls. We are still saving up for the spray foam but hopefully in March we'll have enough to purchase that again with no borrowed costs.
Glad to see that everyone is doing great with their financial resolutions/goals2019 is the year that we continue to save before we buy!!!

J and C-Your comment really struck me-isn't this the way our grandparents and in many cases parents did things back before credit cards. You saved up until you had the money to rennovate a room or buy a used car etc. I am sure they borrowed money to buy houses but little else-even cars- Credit cards really changed everything. Sure there were loans back then but most people lived within their means and saved for what they needed/wanted. Kudos to you for doing it the old fashioned way and saving yourself interest and headaches along the way.

Yes for sure. Credit cards do no favours for some people.
