I'm 32 and work from home. 2 daughters. A wife who works with me. We both have a background in journalism, and she was making some good money when working for big TV.
We decided to marry and try to create a site by ourselves. We believe in simple life and try to be frugal. Downshifting. No more commutes and stupid meetings; no more work on something we don't believe in.
We have spent more money than we got in return. But, you know, we don't need lots of money to live more than comfortably. We don't own a car and don't spend a lot of money in things like taxis or buying stuff. We buy a few things that have quality and try to increase their life span. In clothes, but also in computers, etc.
Our website is light and uses AWS-EC2. Even in there we want to be frugal.
Maybe, just maybe, our site will become profitable. If not, we are creative and love to stay together, so we'll figure it out.
Isn't it wonderful to feel one is owner of his/her plans?
