Live to work or Work to live

So these days my blog is left all to its lonesome. Not a soul in site. Why is that? I'm working! Yes, working my life away,or so it feels that way.

 Back in August I made the decision to go back to work, or work for someone I should say. Today I work all the time. We need more overtime they say. Okay, I get that, but why is it always the same folks working the overtime.

I have come to the conclusion that is also doesn't really help me when I get to many hours. Why, because then I am in another tax bracket. I have it down to a science. I don't work any more than 52 hours in one week. That gives me 104 hours a payday and I still get most of what I worked for. I think its sad that you have to be creative when it comes to work in order to actually get what you have earned. 

I have been reading other blogs and they all talk about a work life balance. I thought what is that?
Boy, am I in trouble.

When I decided to go back to work it was because the stores did not provided a reliable income. Sure I averaged about $10 an hour, but that was only have you took total income and divided it by the hours I worked, and then that was never consistent.

I believe that the grass is always greener on the other side. The pros and cons of working for yourself or working for someones else are pretty equal. They are just different. I have written them down for myself and come to the conclusion that I would rather work for myself and make less money. I had more time with my kids and husband. I for sure had more time for myself.

Now the question is could I start up again and make it or will it break me.

Til next time,

Kim
