I Believe That "Homemaker" Is a Perfectly Valid Occupation
[b]For people who say that people can't afford to allow the woman to be a stay-at-home mom, read this.[/b]
Americans are so spoiled that they think they have to have smartphones, multiple cars, shopping for clothes every week, and bigger homes, that's why women can't afford to stay home. Here are some tips:
1. Get rid of your smartphones. A $20 phone from Walmart will work just as well .
2. Get rid of your cable. Downgrade your internet.
3. Turn the lights off when not in use. The same goes for reducing gas and water use.
4. Get cash cars.
5. Cook your own meals and stop eating processed junk from fast food restaurants and grocery stores.
6. BUDGET. Learn. Practice. Execute a budget. It works.
7. Downsize the home. Look for cheaper apartments/ houses for rent. You don't need 3+ bedrooms unless you plan on growing your family.
8. Take a bus to save on gas costs. And no, you Americans aren't too good for public transport a few days out of the week.
9. Stop at one kid, or before having kids, start to save, downgrade, and budget.
10. Women, start marrying up. Marry a man who can afford to take care of his family on one income while you raise the children at home.
11. Women, learn to do your own hair/nails. You don't have to throw your money at hair dressers to look good. From my culture (black), black women think that they absolutely can't survive without their weaves/relaxers. They blow hundreds of dollars on weaves when it's much cheaper to do their own hair, instead of trying to fill an image of beauty. Men, if she can do her own hair, don't give her any money to go to a hair salon. It's a waste of money!
Also, most men don't want to stay at home. Trust telling you the truth.
