5 different "businesses" and I barely make a living. My husband works a normal job. To be fair, 3 of those I started this year. I have 5 kids. I can schedule my time how I want, but often end up working more than I realize. Taxes ate a lot of my income last year. Luckily I had a tax credit for the kids or I would have paid in taxes for federal for the first time ever. My self employment tax was paid for by the child tax credit.

The benefits:
I can work while staying at home with the kids.
I have time flexibility, but this also means I might be up until 4 am finishing a job.
The kids can help! They often do too. My daughter took complete control of the potatoes crop this year.
If my husband were to die we would still have some sort of income and I wouldn't have to worry as much. (morbid but necessary)

So my industry is entertainment, retail, producing goods, and providing a goods.
Wow you really have your hands full. You're a good model because you have 5 kids and 5 jobs that's amazing!
