Living on one income

Question

Stay at home mom vs working mom?

My daughter is 17 months and i am going back on mat leave in Sept. Now for claiming common law i get so much less money then before. I am finding it hard because my boyfriend and i dont really "share" money he pays half and i pay the other half.

I am making a couple hundrad less every month should i work on my mat leave? i just want to make sure i am stable with my own money but no everything is gone with no money left over for me at all. How do others deal with it?

Answer 1

i think, you can try overnight income investment. it more simple, workable, profitable and no risk investment. actually, your money will work for you, even while you sleep, and you get your first overnight income. your money grow daily.

Answer 2

Congrat on your 17 month old daughter! I have something that will help you. You can build a residual income and never have to worry about going back to work or have to get up before your done sleeping or whatever you want to do.

You can do this whenever you want and anytime you want. Your the boss! You can have this be your plan "B" if you like your job or make this your plan "A" someday or whenever you want to!

Are you saying you are pregnant again...going back on maturnity leave?

So, now you get less money on maternity leave then you did last time?  I'm not sure exactly what you are saying.  Why don't you and your boyfriend put your money together ....(I mean on paper)...then pay the bills and expenses and whatever is left...divide it equally....it is not fair that just becuase he has a bigger income that you should be without money for yourself.

Hi,

I'm sorry about your situation. I am a new mom and I currently work from home and stay with my child. My husband is making okay money to live on. I think in your situation if you need the job to stay at it and meanwhile just look for other jobs from home. I believe alot of them are hiring, you can check out this great site.

In a situation like this and with how the economy is going it's also good to try to budget and save, I have a blog that talks about many things from what to do if your money is tight and also how to make money online you can view it here.

Answer 5

You aren't in a great situation since your boyfriend isn't your husband and can leave at anytime.  This isn't a moral thing it is a money thing, though I don't believe unmarried couples should live together or have kids together.  If he leaves you are stuck with one income, and if your apt/mortgage is under your name he has no obligation to your housing.  

If you are in a true relationship it isn't his money and your money it is both of your money.  If he is so committed to you in having kids with you he needs to pony up then he needs to care for it.  His role in this case is bringing the money.
