Help!!!

I am feeling so stuck atm being a SAHM and having no income. I keep seeing these videos of people claiming to make thousands by selling digital products but I honestly can’t afford the £400 for a course that I don’t even know if will be worth it or not. I keep searching and searching online and most jobs won’t accept you if you’re looking after a baby, which is fair. But I don’t really have anyone to look after her and daycare isn’t an option atm. I feel so useless… husband works but we’re not really 100% and I hate depending on him. I would like to ask you ladies if there’s any genuine way of making a bit of money from home? I’m not expecting to earn a proper wage ofc but every little penny helps when you’re not working. Any advice would be very much appreciated 🙌🏻

That's how they are making the
money they claim to is by selling their course.

I’ve tried a few but it either doesn’t pay out or it takes forever to make 50p 💀 do you know of anything legit?

it pisses me off because they claim to make thousands and I’m not gonna buy a course to simply spend my days begging/fooling people to buy it

I think so too… and if it was really that good they would all be rich isn’t it

I feel the same way:/ frankly, i gave up. i am going back to work because after 2 years i haven’t been able to find a way to do anything remote. Everything was a scam or full time with super low pay.

How many kids do you have? Doing rover was something I could do. It’s just pet sitting. Dog walking or cat sitting etc. usually people let me bring my baby and you can set your own rates. Plus it was super fun!

Family culture difference on money

Sorry this is long, I hope some of you get to the end and give advice!!!

So I’m a very thrifty person, things are tight at the moment, the cost of living crisis and my house is heated by oil so things are extortionate. We aren’t on the bread line but we aren’t flush, hubby might be made redundant so there is some financial pressure.

Sometimes I buy my sons something nicer, on the justification that I can sell it on after (♥️ vinted ♥️). I have also been planning on pretty much breaking even most of the baby things I bought from face book market place, side by crib, baby changing unit, etc.

Hubby and I have different money cultures with our families (he’s Indian, I’m British). I’m my family we don’t mix money, we would help each other out if someone was in trouble and will get each other gifts on special occasions. With hubby’s family money is much more fluid, they will give each other things worth thousands of £ just because.

Hubby’s brother bought him a new laptop and a new Google phone, he’s been very generous to hubby. Hubby hasn’t given the same back because brother is much richer.

Hubby and I mostly share finances. If it’s relevant I’m the higher earner.

Now to the point! My babies are so cute they’ve given hubby’s brother (currently single) baby rabies. He’s asked for our baby stuff when we’re done with it. He’s been so generous to hubby I feel really stingy saying no. But I’d never have bought some of the stuff if I wasn’t going to get a return on it - the thought makes me a bit anxious. If we gave all our baby stuff given the second hand value it still wouldn’t equal what the brother had given hubby.


I thought maybe I could give him some stuff but sell some stuff, but hubby said then his brother will just have to go out and buy that stuff, so I should name my price and ask his brother for the money. That makes me feel very uncomfortable, given how generous the brother has been to hubby.

So what do I do ladies? Give it all and suck it up? Give part of it and sell parts on Vinted/FB, or ask hubbys brother for money for it and be uncomfortable? Or do you see another solution?

No one is being entitled or rude here, just a culture difference I need to navigate.

Advice

Hi everyone! I honestly have 0 social queues when it comes to talking to anyone in general. I definitely have a hard time talking to other women and making new friends. I can 100% relate. I just don’t like the idea of texting or meeting up but when I do I’m like “oh this isn’t bad.” Any advice? I also have a hard time getting comfortable and just feeling judged by other women😅 I’m also 19 so maybe making a change in this now will help in the future making mom friends/friends in general. Thanks in advance!
