One of the things I love about living in 2019 is that there are so many options to work from home. This has turned into several acronyms like Work At Home Mom (WAHM) or Work From Home (WFH) because it has become so common.
Whether it is a full-time work from home job like mine and many of my friends…more on that in a bit…or a side gig to earn just a little extra money, the opportunities are awesome. I thought it would be fun to talk a little bit about some of these options and how you can make money from home too!
