It was August 8 of last year when I finally said ‘buh-bye’ to my bosses of 9 years. The work itself was not stressful but the environment was no longer healthy as it’s supposed to be. In a deadline-driven company such as theirs, I was expecting more motivation and appreciation, unfortunately it was too much for them to give.

I admit it was hard at first especially in managing the finances. We’ve had bills to pay and I left a bunch of loans that we also need to settle immediately. IT.WAS.HARD.

Hundreds of bills, credit cards, mortgage papers, notice of eviction paper later…. I am still here, believing that we can settle everything without me leaving home. I sold things online, juggled my time between house chores, supplier visits, and making money on blogging.

I tried to look for jobs but I can’t bear to attend interviews. It’s against my will because I didn’t want to work at all. My heart and mind says that I need to be home. More and more people were asking me why I am still jobless. But I told them that being jobless doesn’t mean I am worthless.

So what’s keeping me from leaving home?

  1. Unlimited time with Yona. Enough said.
  2. I can maintain or boost my income anytime. Say work for several employers simultaneously? You bet! Now I am working for a single company with a pay higher than what my former employer is paying me..and it’s tax free!
  3. Working hours are flexible. I can do errands in between jobs or during work hours and the best part is, I can go on vacation anytime I want.
  4. Say no to commuting! I no longer have to travel for 1-2 hours.
  5. I feel more contented because I am my own boss.
  6. Say no to yaya! I am in no way leaving my child to a yaya. No way. She’s my first priority so the efforts of working long hours in the office all seemed futile because my thoughts are with Yona.
  7. Save money. I do not need to buy new clothes and power lunches.

It has some drawbacks, too! But I’d rather not think about it and in fact the benefits I am getting offset it anyway.

    We have our own choices, and by the time that we'll have our baby, I'm thinking of working at home too… Being with your child in every stages of her life is something no money/career achievements can buy.

    Everything Nice!

    Just like you Mommy, I enjoyed earning from home. As you said, it has its drawbacks and recently I am feeling it intensely but I want to stay on this track longer. Really don't want to go back working out and away from the children. ^_^
