Love my flexibility, setting my own hours/days, good pay, the ability to spend time with my family!, and rewarding work. It's hard work, but it's all good.
I love that I get to work out puzzles and be an investigative problem solver. I love math puzzles and some of that I get to do for my job is like that.
I love that I get to work from home when it's good for me with my job and that it's not terribly stressful. If I could change anything about it, I would love to make a little more money, of course!
What I like most about my job is working from home. No wasted time traveling, or stuck in traffic and no travel expenses, plus no need to spend money for work clothes. If I could change anything, it would be having a dedicated office room to work from at home. The downside of working at home is that work spills over into personal space & time.
As a sahm some of the benefits is saving on daycare and after school care, being home when my kids are sick and being able to get things done while kids are in school
Great article! Thanks for the information. I did not know Madewell took old jeans. Now I will not be throwing worn out jeans into the landfill! Also upon checking out the Terracycle page, I found new recycling brigades I was not aware of. The different Terracycle program pages have info on upcycling different items there as well.
I like that I have the freedom to not have to be in lab at specific times. Granted, it is preferred if I am there during normal working hours, but it is okay to skip some if you make it up on the weekend or at night.
Thanks Max! Having worked in the back of a local thrift, (where the sorting is done), I can attest to the accuracy of people ditching their junky clothes. Please don't do it! If something is gross or smelly, wash it first. We can't afford to wash everything that comes in and just pitch it. If it's still unsalvageable as a garment after washing, think about home use, like for rags or small pieces for scrap quilting or doll clothes. A little preventive editing saves us a bunch of time and allows us to handle other projects. In the end it saves the customer money.
Although it doesn't haunt me, I do kind of kick myself for borrowing from my 401(k). It was for a pre-paid college education plan, so I didn't squander away the month and although it turned out great because I saved a lot on my daughter's college education, I now know it was a silly thing to borrow from my retirement. Things we wish we had known before. :)
I love being a full-time homemaker. It's the dream job I had from the time I was a little girl. The biggest drawback is not being paid a salary for it.
Wow you must have a very disorganized warehouse location or extremely busy. I usually get in an out in under fifteen minutes and can complete a route, including loading and scanning, in two or three hours. I agree, gated communities are the worst. They have added a way to call the customer through the app now and I have been let in that way.
That first one is crap, assuming that every restaurant has good tip-worthy service. It's only Americans that feel the need to tip and look down on anybody who doesn't. The rest of the world tip when it's deserved not because they don't want to look cheap.
I'm only tipping if the service is exceptional and I'll be ordering whatever I want.
I'm moving next year most likely to Idaho from Pennsylvania after the winter with my little girl who's 2 years old (she will be almost 3 years old by the time we go to move) and my 2 cats. I have started to look up ways to make the move easier and move our stuff and trying to save on the move so that's how I found this site via google. Thank you for this article. I have thought of a uhaul truck as I could just pack everything we have in their smallest truck but not sure if a almost 3 year old would be safe in a Uhaul truck or not. I also thought maybe shipping the stuff somehow and my little girl, 2 cats and us fly but not sure yet as I just started to think about this a few weeks ago.
Banks do report secured credit cards. In my opinion, what you don't want them to do is report that the card is secured. You want your score to increase as if you were issued a regular credit card. Find cards that don't pull your credit, that you can secure with as low as $250 and higher, and don't charge more that 30% of your credit limit. Do this for at least 6 months with timely payments, and don't carry a balance. Pay the bill in full every month, and you will see your score increase. For stellar credit you should have a mix of credit of at least 3 accounts reporting on time every month.

Great co-workers !
I'm a SAHM so I love that I get to spend time with my children and do what I want to with my time.
I like that my job allows for casual dress. If I could change anything, I'd love a higher salary and more benefits.

I am a caregiver and what I love about this job is that I can help others with what they need and give them some level of happiness by helping them!
I don't have a job
I love working with people all over the world. It's inspired me to learn at least a little bit of many languages!
I'm a Stay at Home Mom & what I like most about my job is being able to spend all day with my favorite people in the world--my children.

Since I'm a retired teacher, what I like best is my pension. When I was still teaching, what I liked best was the summers off.

Not buying a lot of apple stock years ago still haunts me.

People always ask me that. What are you supposed to be, they ask. But, I say, I'm not wearing any costume. They're still scared anyway.
