I Quit My Job! (Sort of)

Only to get another one!
Seriously though, I had to quit my other job. I was driving 80 miles one way, 160 a day, 5 days a week. Basically spending $2/hr of that pay in just getting there, plus 15 hours a week on the road, no good.
I am an Electrician by career, so finding jobs is not hard for me. I finally found one near home which will free up nearly 15 hours a week to work on my online business! I will now be entering the Service Tech side of the industry, I was working with newspapers for the last 10 years, but due to circumstances (aka closings) I was forced to take this job super far away.
That's all over and I can't wait to dive back into Wealth Affilate training! I have been slowly completing the training and getting my site set up. Wrote some reviews but the consistency was impossible only having 2hrs a day to sit at the computer and 1 weekend day to put out something. My sanity will also return as I will no longer be in a dying industry that is run like crap.
So while the title may have been a little misleading, I have continued to get my small commissions from my email marketing side of the business. Not to shabby, but I must cut back personal spending to keep that money going up! Once I get a decent amount saved I will be trying to figure out a good way to reinvest it, so let me know if you have ideas.
I hope everyone elses weekend was a good as mine! Never gets better than quitting a job! I have a week off in between jobs so I hope to get a lot of work done on here and of course around the house. Have a great weekend!
