Should I quit and stay at home?

Philippines
June 1, 2012 2:24am CST
I am no longer happy with my work.I'm so tired I am not motivated to wake up each day just to work. It seems my boss has never been thinking about his branch where only one staff is working. I feel like I'm being used and neglected. Anyway, If i will quit with this job and work at home through online earnings do you think I will earn $200 per month? One thing why I want to stay at home is to personally take care of my daughter who is just 3 years old. If I work at home will I be able to provide the needs of my child do you think? Have you heard or known someone earning bigger online? What they do and how they earn bigger? Or do you suggest that I will find another job? Which is which?

It is really a tough decsion on to make. My wife also wants to stay at home and work online so that she can have a full eye on our son (2 years old). However, considering that we have still to pay our house, include the other bills, she can't even she wanted to. I guess you have to consider such things too. Earning $200 a day is really hard if you are going to work online. I suggest, if you decided to quit your job, you need to put a home-based business aside from working online. This will help you earn some cash.

I am thinking that too, I will open our business which was been closed because no one will look after plus I will do online stuff. I didn't mean $200 a day but a month. Do you think it's possible? By the way would you mind if I will ask if you are purely earning online or it's just an extra income?

I am sorry for the mistake. I think yes, if you really became a full time online and with the business you are going to open, there is a possibility to earn that. I am not full time online. I am still an employee but works here in mylot during vacant hours or whenever I don't have something to do in my work for extra income and past time.

It's okay no worries. But is just part of a plan, no certainty yet, but I really wish I will be successful in every endeavor I will do. I am a business minded person but I'm not that risky type, I still need pushing from someone so I will finally make up my mind and put to reality what I've been thinking of. Just pray for me and wish me luck.lol

I have a friend earning $1000 and more online and she's just doing article writing. It's not that easy to establish that kind of reputation to be hired and paid that amount of money anymore. But she started last year in November and she was able to establish a reputation in 3 months and started getting paid that much.

Yeah I've heard about writing stuff too. But I don't have the talent with writing especially page 5 pages long. Any idea except from writing?

Yes I wish I can try, but how and where? $1000 is a very big money for me, of course everyone wants to receive that amount but I know it's impossible to earn that big and I don't want to assume that high so I wont be frustrated.

Wow, your friend is very good in earning money by doing article writing...$1000 is a big amount and i think not many people can do like her. However, you should try Mackenzie, who knows you may earn more than $1000 also...

You should think about it before acting on it as it is not easy to have no job. Maybe you could start a stay at home business... as earning online and earning that big is rare. But i do have a friend that works online and she is not writing articles, she is those call center type, she does secretarial work for someone overseas and she is paid thru paypal... she earns around 50 dollars a week..depending on the number of hours she works

Wow how I wish I will also find someone who is looking for a secretary work too. But i am also willing to work any kind of job online as long as I could earn maybe $100-200 monthly. I can spend 8 hours or more.

I would not suggest you to quit your job no matter how boring it is.You have to sustain your family that consists of a little one and you need money for it.If you feel you are being used there,you should start looking for a new job where you are better paid and where the atmosphere is conducive and interesting. Money can be earned online,but it is not as easy as it is considered to be.In fact,it is as difficult as earning offline.You would have to learn many new things and work hard to achieve your goal,but it would be uncertain. My suggestion is,don't quit your job.Continue with it and keep looking out for a better job that suits you.

Making online money in a stable manner is quite tough but not impossible, you can make $200/ month or more but you should have a good knowledge for doing so, you should not quite your job untill you find another better option..you can try for another job or ask your boss to increase your salary and other problems..or you can start your own business. Good luck!!

I also believe in that concept that's why when I see something online that is offering high paid or double/triple your money in 2 months I always take extra precautions before join that site. It's not easy to get scam. Thank you. I will gather every good luck and hope it will make me a very lucky woman..:)

Hi, my friend.Your suffering is quite similar to mine now.I am working in a Hapanese company.And my work is quite trivial and never feeling a sense of achievement everyday.it is really my purpose to enjoy holiday eveyday rather than as a servant working for my employee as usual. but I do not want to propose resignation before gettinn an offical offer from the other organization for the sample reason that it is full of risk.now the competition in society is near to cut-throat, and it is not easy for you to find a decent position in short-term.So my suggestion that do not make a abrupt decision before carefully consideration.Earning on the internet is not reliable.Do not easily believe in some legend that whoever make bigger money on the network only in one or two day, which is certainly a trick. Thanks

Thank you friend. I just want to be contented with the work I have and be happy. But now a days it's really hard to find a company where everything is okay. If it's not the company itself but the staff. I wish I wish, I wish I just can wish to be happy everyday..

It can be almost impossible to earn that much working from home. Unless you worked for a company that allows you to do so. I know 2 people who handle computer issues from home. However, they worked in office for several years before this became a possibility. I am sorry you are not happy at work. That does make it more difficult.

Are they computer technician? I am not really that sad but mostly I am disappointed with decision making of the boss. Well maybe he plan on closing it I don't know they don't give me details on what are their plans.

The right thing to do is stay at home and earn because its convenient and saves money travelling and food expenses, but you need to find a site that can gives you $200 a month. I am nowhere that amount but you can see other mylotters suggestion as well. Good Luck and Have a nice day!

Yes as much as I wanted to stay home but I am also concern if I will be able to provide the needs of my family. I wish there are sites where I can earn that money. If you have friends or come across a good paying site please do tell me.

have you applied for another job yet?what`s your passion and do you think your current job is based on your passion?now, are you still working or already quit? About earning online..i think there are some freelancer jobsites you can try, but the competition is tough. I suggest that you find a part-time job. So you can work and have more time for your kid.
• Philippines

No, not yet.And I'm still working with the company. Maybe I will enjoy the time left while the company is still here. What freelancer job is that. Do you think I will make $200 with the job?

Hi! I think if you are no longer inspired to go to work then you must find another job. I also want to stay at home but unfortunately I am considering also the finances. I start to blog cause I have read about successful moms who manage to stay at home and earn more that what they have earn from their outside work. However, this is not the case for everybody so I suggest little by little you try some online work but if you still need much money don't resign yet. Or better to fins another job. I also suggest that if you have some capital to open an online shop then try to. Try to search those products that really sell online. I know baby stuffs are very good in terms of selling. I'm into it actually just recently and I'm selling cloth diaper for the mean time. I hope you can make a good decision and good luck!

Thanks for the idea. I have a sister who has a contact for selling baby stuff online. I want to join with her but she still younger and we don't get along well with each other I don't want to have a conflict with her. But I really want to have the same business. Do you think she will be mad at me if i will talk to her supplier and sell the same thing on my own?

For most individuals earning that much online is very hard. You would have to work very hard online for hours at a time in order to make that much. Unless you are able to sell some items regularly that you know people will buy. I hope that you are able to figure out what is best it can be very difficult working in an environment that you do not like.

That's what most people here tell me. How about your own experience do you make much here online?

Well, my online income is very low so that i really don't think you can earn $200 a month online. It is really hard except you do business online. Well, i think better you find another job that you can earn money and can care your kid well also. If you want to care you kid and work at home only, you may earn a little money only. You should think carefully when you want to quit the current job. Good luck!

Hi ryanong. I'm sorry I responded a little late to you, I've overlooked your response. You really think I have to find another job? My husband is earning too but it's also a little amount. A really want to be the one who will take care of my children so that when they grow up they will always remember how I cared for them.

My dear friend, you have to lose something to gain something. If you want to spend time with your child and give her your care, then you have to sacrifice your work. You can earn from home but don't expect too much earning. At the same time, you will be happy to spend time with your child.

I would probably consider finding a new job. If you are unhappy with your current one it will only make you feel worse. I would stay with your current one though if you couldnt find another one. Earning money online is very tedious and I wouldnt really call it job that would ALWAYS pay 200 dollars a month. For me at least my earnings always change month to month. Sometimes I make alot but sometimees i barely make a few dollars. Unless you are always on the computer trying to make a dollar here and there I would stay employed even if you hate your job. Id rather hate my job than be barely making enough money to survive. Its always good to have a sense of stability in life. Best wishes, I hope it all works out for you.

Good point of view clarissa. I know in a working you will never always get what you've expected sometimes you will be happy sometimes you will be disappointed. But how about you what are you're earning sites that you reach frequent monthly payout? Is $100 possible for you?

It will not be easy to make $200 a month. I know some do, but it takes time and effort to build it up. I would be looking into getting some income in online before quitting. There are many sites to help, if you would like some links let me know.

I am a big advocate on staying home with your children if you can. I have done daycare in my home since my second child was born. That was 12 years ago. I have tried to work outside of my home a few times, which didnt work at all. Last summer I had a terrible time balancing my children and the daycare kids. So I made a decision to cut way back and stop working. Its been a terrible struggle financially but its better for us overall. I have recently upped my paid sites. I think that I can send you info in your email. I would love to help, and for you to sign up as my referrals. Then we can help each other to make more. :)

To be honest, I think trying to earn $200 a month on line would not be easy. I have recently cut back on my my business load and turned more to on-line earning - gone into semi-retirement. Whilst I can see that it may be possible to earn a living wage on line, it is going to take a long time and a lot of work and knowledge about Internet marketing to do this. I have studied many courses on line, but none of them have delivered what they promised to and I have plenty of experience with off-line marketing, but on-line it is very competitive because it is what so many people want. I have kept my business going, albeit at a reduced rate because for the past 30+ years I have worked long hours each day with clients and groups of clients. The Internet for me, has not yet provided that same earning power that I used to have before going into semi-retirement. I would keep your job going if I were you, and spent as much time as possible working on line, and prove for yourelf how well or poorly it will provide money for you.. Good luck. _Derek

$200 per month is too high target internet income for the beginner. Of course it's possible but require experience and hardwork. I have several friend who made an home income more than $200, but they really experiencefull and have a skill. one of good site to earn might be writing site or you can starting a blog. there are many opportunities out there. if you don't ready enough to leave your current job, don't take a risk, you have another option, looking for new job in a real in better company

No you won't be able to earn 200 a month unless you already do. If you need the money you are not able to quite now unless you are able to save that amount. Since you don't get any energy out of your job I think looking for an other one is the best you can do. Since no job pays well enough to get a burn out. I suggest you go look for an other job and you tell your boss you do so. Might be this is also an opening to hear from you why you want to leave, might be there is a solution so your job is interesting to you again? Next to it you can see if it's possible to earn 200 a month on long term as well.

I will try what you suggested, but I'm a little scared. What if my boss will tell go quit I don't need you then I don't have a job yet. I better find one before telling him. But how knows instead he will increase my salary, if I will quit no one will look after his company. I'm not the courageous to tell it straight to his face and one problem he doesn't talk to me if want to.:( Maybe one day.lol

If you are one who works by promoting, endorsing and selling products in a legitimate direct selling company, then you can do that through selling online and earns more than $200 spot cash per month. In my opinion, you have to do direct selling business in your home using online and traditional based method of selling where you may able to take care of your child. If you are planning to do part-time for office work later if you may able to adjust taking care of your child.
