I had a really eye opening conversation with my five-year old daughter the other day.  I told her we needed to choose which activity we were going to do over the weekend, because we couldn’t do both due to the cost of gas on top of the cost of the activity.  My daughter had determined that we could do both if we just use our plastic card.

You could see this as either the beginning of an argument or a teaching opportunity. I chose the latter.  My daughter is figuring out that it takes money to survive in this world, but I would like to add to that, that although it takes money to survive, you can choose what you spend it on.

There are a lot of lessons to be learned from the internet.  An important lesson is that not everything you read will be true, but the online world is full of opportunity for gleaning information of all kinds. 

If you are thinking about starting your own business, please note that you can make real money online as well.  So, if you don’t want to commute to work everyday, feel stuck in your current position or are just looking for a fresh start, there are multitudes of opportunities for you to work online and make a living as well.
