Wealthy Travelers

Have you ever found yourself in this position?  You have an 8 to 5, Monday through Friday job.  On the average, you get up about 6 a.m., start the coffee, and on the way back for a quick shower, you wake up the kids to get up and get going.  Out of the shower, dress and back to check on the kids progress.  One kid can’t find his shoes.  The other is still not out of bed.  As you find the shoes and again, start the second kid out of bed and dressing, you head to the kitchen to make breakfast, sack lunches, and gulp down some coffee.  Your husband shows up dressed, ready to head out the door to catch the commuter train so he can make that very important meeting with the company boss and the new, huge potential client.  As he heads out the door, your kids come straggling into the kitchen arguing about something trivial.  You settle the fight, set them down for a quick breakfast as you finish your coffee and grab a quick bite of toast.  After breadfast you tell the kids to brush their teeth, grab their backpacks, put their coats on and head for the car.  As they walk past you one kid hands you the note from the teacher from a wek ago about a special project the class is doing TODAY and he was to bring one of the crucial elements!  As you back down the driveway, you make a mental path that takes you past the WalMart for the school project supplies that will also get you to the school without a huge delay.  You drop the kids off at school and head for work.  On your usual route there is a huge traffic jam because of a stalled vehicle which means now, you’re going to be late to work and have to face the scourful looks of your boss. When you finally make it to work, you feel frazzled and disorganized.  And tomorrow, you get to do the whole routine over again.

This….is a glimpse into the average, typical, traditional American job, American family life.  No wonder so many people are looking at a home based job opportunity that gets them OUT of this rat race of long, hard hours, stress, long commutes and little time for family.  Jobs working from home use to be the exception, but is now becoming the norm.  Less stress, less long hard hours, more time with kids and family activities, almost no commute time, and tax breaks galore.
