As you know, I’ve been substitute teaching since March. I got my first paycheck at the end of March…a whopping $69. Woot, woot.
That was pay for one day of work. And I’ve worked 2-3 days per week since then. And not only am I substitute teaching, but I am able to work on my own business at the same time. Can you say double dipping?! Loving it!
And I’ve been making wise decisions at the same time…taking my lunch, working through lunch and continuing to be committed to saving the income from this side hustle.
I have definitely learned that I prefer the high school to the middle school. But I’m going to dip my toes in at the elementary school next week. So wish me luck!
Because I’m not really sure what this income looks like, and it will end next month for the summer, I have not accounted for it in my budget. Since I had already planned to rebuild my savings account and pay additional monies to debt with it, I think it’s okay.
But I’ve definitely decided to continue doing it. I enjoy being at school with Princess. While I haven’t taught any of her classes, I am enjoying getting to know some of the kids and getting to see her during the day. It makes my homeschooling mom’s heart happy.
