Want to buy a house? Things to do to save for that downpayment.

So, we are wanting to buy a house. Really tired of giving our money away to rent, you know? Want to see what my dream house looks like?

Sooooo, I have started trying several things to make extra cash....one is finally working. I started cleaning houses.

I used to do it a long time ago....when I was 20 years younger....LOL But, I guess this old grey mare still has what it takes. (Thanks to God no doubt!)

How did I start? Well, I told my real estate agent about it, my landlord, and a friend that lives here. We just moved to this town, and we didn't know anyone else yet. But, this seemed to do the trick.

My real estate agent hired me right away. Can you make money at this, you ask? Yes. I charge 20.00 an hour. Most houses take me two hours. So, I still have the time (and energy) to get up and make breakfast for my gorgeous husband, clean MY house, and run the errands I need to get done during the day. Works out pretty good.

Now I have a been hired by four people. All by word of mouth.

Proverbs 13:4
The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.


Proverbs 14:23
All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.

If I can do it, you can to. Just remember to do a good job and work hard. God is the one who causes everything we put our hand to, to prosper.

So, I'm going to pick up my son for his spring break today. I am SO excited. Because of his schooling, his job, and baseball....I haven't gotten to see him for a few months. So believe me, I am very much looking forward to this visit. I have the best kid in the world ya know. (wink)

(This is from about two years ago on my wedding day. My son and I switched "hats". )


Okay, so until next time. Have a great one!
