Carolyn
Hello, I'm Carolyn, otherwise known as Mum what's for tea? I gave up full time employment for the birth of my now 15 year old son, and I've never regretted giving up the 9-5 grind.
What I do regret giving up is the money I was earning. I'm married, and we breed dogs, which keeps me busy, I write, I dabble, I'm still searching for what I want to do when I grow up.

I'm new to the concept of trade, but I did read an amazing book last year, where a guy started out with something really small, like a pen or something, and he ended up getting himself a house. It was incredible.
Personally, I've traded copies of a little book I self-published a few times for other...

Good advice. If the part time job ends up costing you, well, it's not worth it. You have to make more than it costs, otherwise you're working for nothing.
This is a good blog. Just like weight loss, until you find the best method for you, it won't work. Asking around, finding the right method, that's the key.
