[Great to be Debt Free]

I am currently the homemaker, having moved to MD from GA 10 months ago, and about to move to Colorado sometime in the next 6 months.

So, I am working on projects that will inexpensively increase the value/curb appeal/etc of our home.

I'm also taking an online project management certification course that will hopefully fill in some gaps on my resume so that I can get on with DH's company post-move.

(My resume includes: Corporate trainer, telecom. industry; assistant manager, retail telecom.; non-profit communication/marketing director; editor of student features and literary magazines; server and server trainer at Numerous eating establishments; doughnut maker; public relations for GA assoc. of professional bail bonds, etc.)

DH is a senior engineering manager with an engineering firm and will be the Field engineering supervisor on the new project in Colorado to work on the cleanup of mustard agent from munitions stored there.

(I hope to get into project controls so that every time they move us, I'll have a job, too.)

I'm still working as a marketing writer for a broadcasting services company. And I do freelance PR for the real estate industry.

[contrary1]

newly retired from 33 years as a theraputic foster parent.

Now I'm pasting together some sort of income........
2 respite kids on the week ends
Board 4 horses
Rent out 1 bedroom
Rent out RV space out back
New renters as of today...........creating another RV area, they get the spot near the chicken coop
Renting out covered parking in our big 4 bay carport
Leasing my old house, but this just covers monthly bills, insurance and taxes, so doesn't count as income.

Sewing business picking up......Teaching knitting ...1 student at this point.
Foster Parent Recruiter for our county until the contract runs out Sept 30th (fingers crossed that I can get on with whomever is awarded the new contract)

When I see it all written down, I get a tad overwhelmed. It explains why I feel tired and can get pretty fragmented some days.

I notice that as a group we skew towards the professional class with higher than average incomes. Interesting.

[JBinKC]

I am croupier which I have been doing since 1995 when my portfolio started to take off. This current job allows me to actively manage my assets during the day. For education, I have a double major in finance and chemistry and 3 years of dental school under my belt (after completing 6 months of my clinical rotation I decided it wasn't for me). In the past, I worked 3 years as a controller of a construction firm and 5 years as an IRS revenue agent.
