Another day another dollar

This morning I poured myself a hot cup of coffee and looked at the day ahead with excitement. Today is my first day blogging for a living, after finishing my construction business of building patios for over 24 years. My hands and back are not what they used to be so it was not a hard decision to give up the trade and I have to admit that my doctor had pushed me into making the decision for a less physically stressful life.

If you know me, you know I have always liked computers and I love a good yarn – so starting a blog seems like a good fit for me.

So what does one do on day 1 of living the life of a blogger? well for starters I have to admit the finances have been on my mind. I’ve been told many bloggers can earn good money but I am sure there are millions out there that don’t. I would love for this blog to start bringing in big bucks straight away but lets be realistic here, it could take some time! so I ventured over to a credit card comparison website to make sure I’ve got a credit card that I’m not going to pay too much interest on and therefore give me access to money but not cost me too much.

We’ve paid off the house, so thankfully I don’t have to worry about the mortgage and Trina is still working.

Look forward to talking to you some more soon.
