I’m a 28 year old housewife gone mad. I’ve been home for 5 years, career on hold while I support my military spouse and raise our children. Over-worked, under-paid and slaving away at one of the most thankless jobs I’ve ever had, I’m losing it. I’m highly intelligent and feel like I’m wasting away in my pajamas one cup of coffee at a time. I tried online college - lame! I found legitimate work from home jobs - boring! I think I like looking for work from home jobs more than working them. And now, struggling like everyone else in America trying to make ends meet, here I sit on mTurk typing I don’t know what for pennies. Maybe it will add up, maybe I can earn enough today to pull 20 bucks out of the bank before my account goes into the red… or maybe I’m just wasting my time. I met with family recently that I had not seen for some time. It was amazing for me to learn that my cousins and other relatives think we are well off because we are in the military - HA! We barely make it. They only give us just enough to scrape by and even scraping is a tall order. To think that my husband would put his life on the line for a country and government that will barely pay his bills is atrocious! But there’s nothing we can do about it. Right? - Ah well the phone is ringing and I can see from the caller id that another bill collector is on the line - wish me luck!
