A Lifestyle Change

It is the second day of the mid year school holidays in South Africa. My five year old is drawing at the table and my three year old son has all his cars out and is playing at my feet.

It is 9h30am here and even though the sun is up it is still a bit chilly because it is winter. I am sitting on the couch, still in my pj's and nightgown, with my laptop on my lap.

I have just earned a total of $45 for today.

We are waiting for the day to warm up a little and then we are going to get dressed and head off to the nursery down the road where get buckets of food to feed the goats, horses, llamas, tortoises, bunnies, ducks and geese.

We will have a late breakfast and some ice lollies before heading home. If it is cold we are going to cuddle on the couch with a blanket and watch some dvds and hopefully later I will catch a moment to get in a little bit of work.

Now I am not a millionaire, far from it... but this is the lifestyle that I want. The freedom to work around the needs of my family.

Just over a year ago this was not possible. In February last year my children were in day care until 5pm every day, including school holidays.

Thank you WA - I can't wait to see where I am next year. Disney World perhaps? I can only dream right :)

Keep on trucking.

Keep up the good work. You will fulfill your dreams, Deanna

The FREEDOM you access now is termed as SUCCESS. Really, you are going to achieve a huge target. Wish you all success:)

Hi Lynn! I agree 100% with you. I'm not making what I want to make per month yet but I will get there! I love the flexibility of working how I want to work and where I want to work. I love what I'm doing too! So glad you get to spend time with the kiddos. You will never regret that! Alanna

I can see already how fast they grow up.

That is surely the live Lynn:)

Rich indeed when you can live exactly as you wish to do so. Heartwarming and also encouraging for those still trying.

That is awesome Lynne, it shows us what is possible, it does take hours and hours of hard work but the results are worth the effort.

Yes it took a lot of work, now I don't have to work so hard :)
If I did I could make a lot more money today but I don't want to, I want to play with my kids!

good for you Lynne, it's good to see all your hard work come to fruition:-)

Oh Disney World sounds nice.

LOL Yes it does... but for now I will settle for going to feed that animals down the road :)

Awesome and sometimes it doesn't even take a lot of income to just what you are describing. Just a reduction in expenses a little more work on your website. Motivating story for many I'm sure. And yes who know what another year could do!

Exactly Peter! But for now this is just perfect. I am not rich, but how many other women are sitting at work right now with their kids stuck in day care dreaming of the lifestyle I have right now?

I am sure there are loads! I just wanted to share what WA can give you if you work for it.
