If you’re a couponer, and you’re tired of wasting your day trying to find the best sales possible just to save money in your family budget, then you should start a preschool!
Each week, you scour the sales, looking for every coupon possible so you can save $.50 here and $1.00 there. You hate how many hours you have to “coupon” just to have enough money to buy the things your family needs.
I get it. I’ve been there, too. Our family budget kept getting stretched thin every month, and we just needed MORE. My husband’s salary wasn’t enough, but I refused to get a job and put my 3 young kids in daycare, so I tried everything I could do at home to create additional income.
I tried home party businesses. I resold anything online I could get my hands on: clothes, furniture, toys, you name it. But sometimes the only thing that made any difference at all was for me to spend hours upon hours EVERY DAY finding coupons and planning out the strategy on how I was going to use every coupon to its fullest potential.
I still remember my kids coming up to me and asking, “Mommy, can you play with me?” And I would always reply, “Not right now honey… Mommy’s working.” Because in my head, that’s the only way I -could- “work” and make money.
My coupons were my money, but dang did it take forever to plan out my shopping trips!
Not to mention the stress I would feel going to the store, kids in tow, when I realized the cereal aisle had been picked clean and my missing “10 boxes of Kellogg’s cereal” would royally screw up my entire checkout process! How could I fix my meticulously-planned out shopping list with my kids whining for this food and that food every 5 seconds?
The truth is, I couldn’t, so my 5 hours of prep time basically turned into a high-anxiety, frustration-filled shopping trip followed by a nail-biting, “don’t talk to Mommy while I stare at the cash register and match up every product to a coupon while customers in line behind us glare at me impatiently” experience just to make my $300/mo. food budget stretch for a family of 5.
That’s why I was so glad when I learned how to start my preschool (not a daycare)! I taught preschool classes to children ages 3-5 for a few hours each day in my home… and I got to spend quality time WITH my children while I created a consistent income!
Now, let us stop you right here just in case you have “excuses” already forming in your head about why a preschool won’t work out for you, like:
- Everyone needs daycares. No one will come to my preschool…
- There’s a free preschool in my area. No one will pay for preschool…
- I don’t have the right degree…
- I’ve never taught preschool before…
- I’m scared I won’t sign up any kids…
- I don’t have the right space or location for a preschool…
- I don’t have the money to start a preschool…
- Or any other excuse that you’ve been thinking…
