I just got an email from an anonymous reader telling me to get a job instead of clipping coupons. Funny... Even if I did have a job right now I'd still be clipping coupons. I personally don't see the point in paying full price for things when you don't have to. I'd rather put that money saved towards something fun for my family. I also don't HAVE to coupon. My hubby makes enough to support us. And as for me not having a job...that was mine and my husband's choice. I will go back to work when my babies are all in school. Besides, I am not afraid to work. I used to work night shift 6pm-6am, go home sleep a couple of hours and then be at school at 9:45am. I did this for several years while getting my degree. On top of this I was a single mom. And I will say this - being a stay at home mom is the hardest job I have ever done. But I also know how hard it is to work when you have babies. It's hard getting off of work to take them to the doctor and school functions not to mention the mental wear it has. While at work I was constantly worrying about my babies worrying that they were missing me or needed me. We were just lucky that my husband got the awesome job that he has now or I would be working right now as well. The bottom line is everyone does what they have to. There's no need in putting someone down for the way they live their life. I always say "To each his own." It would be nice if we all lived by that.
I am sure that this anonymous reader isn't so "anonymous" and that the email really has nothing to do with the fact that I clip coupons. I just wanted to clear up a couple of things. :o)
Enjoy this blog and check it everyday, keep up the good work!Have passed the link on to many of my friends.
ReplyDeleteI've been clipping coupons for years,if the manufactures didn't want you to save money and use their products they wouldn't print them.

Thank you, Linda. You made my day! I hope you have a safe and Happy Holiday!
ReplyDeleteI know a lot of very wealthy people. Most of those very wealthy people do not have to work...and they clip coupons and are first in line for a sale or for freebies! When asked why they clipped coupons, one couple said, "How do you think we got where we are?" Everyone likes a good deal! Keep up the good work Amy :0)
