My Wife Just Got A $20 Per Hour Raise! You can too!

Now that I'm working at home full time and getting ready to be a stay at home dad, I have a lot more time to myself writing to you good folks. But apparently my wife has other plans for my free time and assigns extra chores. Secretly I think she gives me chores to punish me because at the moment she still works for "THE MAN" full-time. To add insult to injury she lovingly refers to me as her "House Husband". I can't tell you how I much loathe that title. It just doesn't sit right with me. I feel like I should be walking around with an apron and baking cookies. In addition to being forced to do extra house chores, I've apparently also become my wife's personal secretary. Every time the phone rings, it's for her. Go figure.

I guess I could complain but I prefer doing this than commuting to work and dealing with employers that don't understand that my family comes before work and everything else. In any event, this past week as I was doing my "House Husband" duties and I got a phone call. I don't know why I bother picking up the phone because it's always for my wife. So I answered the call and it's one of my favorite type of calls. It's a money call! But alas it was for my wife. Damn it!

A money call is when

Recently I received an email from one of our loyal visitors Linda which read as follows:

“Hi Eddy,
Thanks for all the information you have sent me. I would like to ask you if you have any knowledge of work at home sites for people with hearing disabilities.

And although Linda's email expressed these sentiments, it was a bit different.

Top 5 Work At Home Scam Fighting Websites

Work At Home Scams are like fashion trends, if you don't keep up you get left behind. But for work from home seekers it's actually a lot worst. With fashion, you might get picked on because you're wearing “skippy lous” and everyone else is wearing Jordans. For work at home seekers, if you don't keep up, you lose out on money that could have went to feeding little junior.

For those of you who read my article “Better Business Bureau Listed Work From Home & Scams!“, You already know that I've concluded that the BBB reports although useful should be taken with a grain of salt. Actually one of our visitors basically flat out discredited the BBB altogether when she stated the following:

Derby House Fabrics Bookkeeper Job Scam!

Another day and another scam. I recently received an emailed job offer allegedly from the "Derby House Fabrics" company. I'll spare you the suspense. It's a scam. Let me start off by saying that there may actually be a legitimate company named "Derby House Fabrics".

Scam artists are like a viruses they spread and adapt quickly. Because they know most work at home seekers are naturally skeptical (as they should be), a con-artist tends to use real legitimate company names in their emails. The hope is that it will disarm you from thinking it's a scam when you do your research. But I'm going to show you my 3 strikes method on how to determine when these emailed job offers are a scam. But first we need to do some self reflection about this so-called opportunity that has appeared out of thin air.

Here are some questions you need to ask yourself.

How I Made $150 In Less Than An Hour & You Can Too!

I already know what you're thinking when you read that title, ‘Here comes another one of those get rich quick scams.' I don't blame you. Most titles that begin the way tend to lead to some ebook or sales page. But what I'm about to reveal to you is totally legitimate and involves nothing more than speaking your mind. No I haven't lost mine! Just be patient.

As consumers we're inundated with products. Some are more useful than others. The ones that are useful come about because the business did something smart and actually asked its customers what they wanted! Wow what a freaking novel idea? But I digress.

As much as I like helping people I'm not all that motivated to help big companies. After-all they have zillions of dollars that they ain't sharing with me. Or are they? I recently made $150 by talking to a nice woman about
