Hi S.:
This is late to reply to but thought it worth while. Home Business. You live so far out,one car, one income currently, correct so far? Well, here is the bad news, most home business stuff is bunk..the one making the money is the one selling you the package to get started (in most cases). It is a waist of precious time in your position. Full time On Line Student, Mother of 3, soon to be married.
I am not what you are studying for at school so I can throw this out there...DayCare Provider/Baby Sitter for those in your area who normally travel long distances to drop the children off during the summer? Sure, there is some cost but minimal, CPR class,...but not very many start up fees involved there. (1 to 2 additional children then your own, could generate a few dollars weekly to get your feet on the ground and qualify for a second vehicle after 6 mos. recordable? Listen, life can seem impossible at times because everywhere we turn there is a hurdle, some high, some low, and finding the solution or the energy to get past it isn't always at our fingertips...it can be downright frusterating.
You have already began to create a great opportunity for you and your children through education. Get envolved in your local church, many opportunities are there waiting for you to find. Odd jobs close to you helping others, some with little pay and others with more, you would not normally expect.
Anyways, hopefully this has reached in good health, and you have not given up on your education just yet. Balance is knocking at your door, but to see it you must lay down your worries, and pursue the resources most cant see.
Best Wishes,
K.P.
