People are often surprised to find out how much working outside the home actually costs. There are two costs involved (besides time, energy, emotional toil, etc.) with an outside job--actual money spent, and less time to save money.
Some costs to consider:
- Child care--probably one of the highest.
- Gas
- Wardrobe
- Lunches
- Business-related supplies/expenses not covered by company
- Snacks
- More frequent shopping due to convenience
- Expense of eating out/convenience food due to lack of time
- Other suggestions?
Since I've come home, I'm amazed at the opportunities to save money. It has kind of become a sport, and I view it a very important part of my job.
Shopping sales (food, clothing, etc.), less shopping altogether, time to make homemade gifts, and my favorite, time to make money running an on-line business!
