The path money can lead us

I always seem to be searching for ways to increase the money stream in our household. For various reasons from wanting my husband home more so have to increase my income to accomodate his being lowered. To saving for a purchase or vacation or pretty much anything. I have always been a saver, my parents kid that I was a miser when i was young, i would squirrel away money anywhere I could find a place. It didn't help that I had a thief as a sister and probably the main reason i hid my money to keep her from taking it. I still have many piggy banks along with my youngest as we both share the love of money and saving it. I have now added about 6 savings accounts to my collection. I don't know why i have different ones just figured I would forget about one or two and have a wonderful surprise sometime down the road.
I have been involved in many different businesses and had varying success. I will not bash any as I have learned from them all. My current career of customer service from home is my longest so far, as it works so well with my life and I enjoy it as well. I have been doing this since my youngest was a year old wishing I had started before I ended my previous career as they would have worked very well hours wise.
The path that I have lead in the job/career area has been very wide path. I went to school to be a Registered Massage Therapist, worked at a Brewery, then onto various bars and nightclubs and masseuse (not rmt)making a very comfortable wage, then to an automotive company doing customs and then to a trucking company doing everything from billing to dispatching. Through everything I have always had some on the side home business as well, from selling lingerie, to glow sticks, typing up resumes, web chats, and transcriptionist. Each position had its downfalls but also great memories and strong points. I figure you have to try before you can make a decision clearly. Some may not like or respect the path I have lead but it is me, it has helped make who I am and I am better for what I have done. There is many things that I will do again as I see them as great benefits in my life, time will tell when it is right to begin again.
I love that my husband has been right beside me supporting me from day one 12 years ago. He is my cheerleading squad and shoulder to cry on and ear to listen. Can't wait to see where the next fork in the road takes us, but I will enjoy the ride there, bumpy or smooth, we have to buckle up and get going.
