I love having a financial analyst for a husband.

So Lohn and I have to start paying on our large (no, massive) ND student loans at the end of this month. Lohn did some number crunching and figured out something really cool. If we pay an extra 25 dollars every month towards our loan, we will pay off our loan a year and 3 months sooner and save 11 thousand dollars. And that of course has me thinking, but what if we do an extra 50 a month? What if we do a hundred?! What if I get a job and put 2000 a month towards it??? (Ok, not an option right now, as tempting as it may be...) I am not going to leave Sylas to daycare, so now I need to find a way to make money from home that isn't risky. Any ideas? How do you save/make money? I would love ideas!

Holy crap! I want to crunch the numbers on our loans, too! I wonder how fast we could pay them off (and how much we could save). That's amazing!

I know Chelsea Flint does transcription work from home... maybe give her a call?

Wowza, that's amazing. I don't really have any ideas, but good luck!

Etsy, man. I just opened a shop and it's already covering our mortgage in South Bend. I long for the day when we sell that house and it can become my H&M slush fund.

Didn't you already set up an etsy account? You need to start selling your stuff. Or start a preschool or something, that way Sylas can have free preschool and you can stay home.
