Terri what a great post to share. So timely for me. I’m gonna have to take an Ibuprofen now because I gave myself a nodding-induced headache. But totally worth it.

I had read her post earlier and thought it had such great points. I have a friend who has started to blog hoping to make money… I tried to warn her that it would be difficult and take way more time than her current job (which DOES make her money š ). Thanks for sharing this important information.

I read her post this morning and she is so right about everything she says. I truly wish I had more time to focus on blogging and everything it entails, but when one needs to make a living, priorities should be elsewhere. That is my conclusion after one year of writing my Roaming About blog! š

I completely agree! That’s part of why I shared this post. It seems easy to get stars in our eyes about making $$ blogging, when, for most of us, it’s just a hobby–a good one!

You are so right, Terri—do it because you love it!
There was one time I thought about putting together a book for kids right out of college or high school that would give 10 good & bad points about every job. Because that’s real life, right? Nothing is perfect!!
