Hilarious blogger Bossy has inspired me to join her “Poverty Party” post series.
I’m not going to tackle posting about how we are budgeting, saving money, or what have you every day — I don’t have that kind of energy. But I will try to tackle them on a weekly basis.
Today’s Poverty Party is one of those optimistic future pieces.
When I dropped off the last check for Noah’s school , I asked what our fee would be in the fall when Noah starts half-day state-funded 3-K. To keep him at school for the full regular school day, 8-3, our price will drop to $105 PER WEEK. That’s a 40% drop!
Less optimistically, if I’m still not working by then, even that might be more than we can manage, and Josie will certainly not be in part-time day care any more.
On a related note, I am almost decided that if I don’t have a job by the end of May, I will be taking the dive into entrepreneurship. I’ve been floating and tweaking a business idea to various local friends, and I think the next step is “Business Plans for Dummies.” I’m scared of being in business for myself, but I may have to get over it.
