106. You ARE earning, you are lowering your bottom line!

As the household manager it's my job to ensure that we operate within a certain budget, and when that budget plummets as it did over the past year my challenge was to bring our costs under budget. Not an easy challenge, but we did it! If I had gone to work our bottom line costs would have risen dramatically so that's why I quit trying to find anything. If dh had only been doing this on his own or I had not even tried to keep the bottom line in check, we would have probably lost our home.

Do not EVER discount the value of the person staying at home, be it the man or woman.
