I have been a freelance graphic designer for 8 years then stopped working for 4 years to take care of my child. I want to go back to work as a freelance, but where should I start? I’ve been thinking of getting an online degree or taking classes to get up to date. I used to do storyboards, character design and 3D animation etc. What can I do to get back on track and still have time for my family ? What kind of part-time job related to my field can I find ?

I have read that most of the Work at Home offers on the internet are scams.
I would like to know: What are some legitimate ways to make money on the internet?
How is it possible to know if a site is legitimate, or a rip off?
What is some good advice for someone who is interested in the internet as a source of income but fears being taken advantage of? Is there a site that tells who is reputable and who is not?
Thank you for your wisdom.

It sounds as though many lifestyle options that are becoming popular – telecommuting, homeschooling, and other options – lead to families spending more time together. Some have theorized that the industrial revolution, and the public schooling that came later, have caused problems for families. Once industry was taken out of the home and into factories, families were split up during the day. After that, children began to be sent to schools rather than learning at home. (There were always a few schools available to the very rich, but the majority of kids have always learned at home.)
What do these changes mean for families? Do you think that the number of people working from the home will continue to grow? How about the number of homeschoolers? Will our families be stronger because of this, or we will be more divided within society?

No matter what the job is, there will always be downs to it and I’ll be stuck working 50 hours a week working for money I won’t have enough time to enjoy. I’d rather have a web-based income, own a business, or even be a drifter working landscaping jobs. Is there honestly a job that isn’t miserable.

My gross pay for 2009 is going to end up right about K which would put me into the 25% federal tax bracket. Once you back out 401K and medical, my taxable wages are around ,000. However, I am a "legitimate" telecommuting worker that works out of a home office for a company that is based in a different state. Here are the exemptions that I plan to use:
-portion of rent/utilities for home office
-portion of vehicle payment for work use
-portion of auto insurance
-50% of cellular phone bills
-student loan debt interest
I’m guessing these will effectively reduce my taxable income by around -10K. This leaves me with two questions…
1) Are there any exemptions that I am leaving out? I have not included anything that my work already reimburses me for (meals, etc).
2) I think I read somewhere that by having your taxable income below something like K it drops you from a 25% tax bracket to a 15% tax bracket and would save me thousands of dollars. If I am just shy of the next lowest tax bracket, is there anything that I can do within the next 3 days to reduce my taxable income? I considered doing a 100% 401K contribution for my paycheck on the 30th but it had already been processed for payment.
Thank you for any suggestions! And by the way, I am not trying to do ANYTHING ILLEGAL! I just want to make the best use of my LEGITIMATE exemptions to save as much money as possible on taxes.
Thanks for the clarification on how the brackets work, I was obviously way off on that. As far as what I mean by a telecommuter, I am a sales rep for a company that is headquartered elsewhere in the country. I work from a home office to cover a large region of the northeastern United States. I will review the document you provided to make sure I’m counting everything, and it’s obvious that I need to pay a professional to sit down with me, I just want to have my ducks in a row going into this. Thanks again!

I’m a Web designer. First offer allows me to work from home full-time. The pay is ,400 with benefits. Second offer is a 30 minute commute from home. The pay is k with benefits plus free gym membership.
Additional expense if I have to commute: I have 2 dogs. If I go to work I will hire a dog walker for one dog and a doggy day care for another dog.
Expense if I telecommute: I will pay more for utilities.
Which one should I take? Help! Thanks in advance for your advice.

What can we do to combat this? Why are we driving 40-90 minutes each way for the job. is it cause we cant afford to live in the communities that have the jobs? many even most homes are wired for broadband now. are we finally ready as a society to fight for telecommuting as more standard job options? First they started putting jobs far out in suburbs, then brought them back to city but bby then the home prices were out of reach to many families. i dont want to live in podunk, usa just to be near a decent job. and i dont want to pay 00 a month rent to live in the city either. what gives?

My boyfriend and I have been together one and a half years and living together for about 9 months now. We have a great relationship, we’re both happy, or at least I was happy, but things are changing. After all this time, my boyfriend isn’t sure about me, even though I love him very much and have given him no reason to doubt me.
I understand not being ready (to get married), but why would you stay with someone you don’t see yourself marrying someday. We have talked about this and his solution is: I leave him or I wait until someday (which may never come), just so he can be sure (being sure does not include a ring).
Now, you have to understand that being not ready, doesn’t bother me, but after a year and a half and you’re not sure, that’s not okay with me. I have read, researched, and ambushed my friends, family, and co-workers about this (I ask them, "How long were you with your wife/husband, before you knew she/he was the one). The reply is always the same, (except my parents who both gave the same answer, "About a month") "With in the first year." Of course, they weren’t ready for marriage (or at least a couple weren’t) but they were sure.
Here is some background information, about how I got into this situation: I was unhappy and my parents were moving to Montana, so I came too. I met my current boyfriend here and decided to stay. We are staying here for his career (he doesn’t want to have to start over), until he gets a little more experience (another year and a half). I am from California and my career was going well enough, that my earning potential was hitting near ,000. Unfortunately, there are no jobs in my field here, so I had to take a pay cut, about ,000 a year. The worst part is, I don’t want to live here, there is little culture or mix of food choices (I’m used to San Francisco).
Now, I work a job I don’t really like. I live about an hour away from my job and during the season, my hours go from 80 hours every two weeks, to about 130 hours every two weeks (I work every day and my days off are one at a time, few and far between). I have been trying to get telecommuting work (freelance), so I can have a nice normal job, Monday through Friday, 9 to 5, and I wouldn’t have to drive to work. Before it was no problem (getting freelance work), my resume spoke for itself, and I always got calls for the jobs I applied for. But now everything has changed! I have been out of my field for almost two years now and I can’t even get an unpaid internship, believe me I have tried.
That’s not all though, I’m even spending more money by living with him. My employer has employee housing, which I moved out of, to move in with him. It only costs about 0 a month, which includes internet, cable, and utilities. I now pay for half of rent, food, and utilities (we don’t have cable or internet) which is about 0 a month. I also fill up my gas tank every three days, which is about a week or 0 a month. When I lived at work, I never had to fill up my gas take. So, by living with him, I am spending 0 a month. I also get 50% off food, at work, so my food bill has gone up too.
I have about ,000 in school debt, which I am trying to pay off, ,000 down and counting, so by not living with him, I could be paying off my debt a lot faster.
But, my biggest problem is, that I love my boyfriend or this would be an easy decision. We love each other, our relationship is great, and we really communicate well… not to mention he is the only guy I have been with… who I click with intellectually, emotionally, and ***SEXUALLY***
I am 26, so I only have 4 years left before I turn 30 (I hear your 20’s are your best years to date and find a quality mate) and nine years to have healthy babies, without a huge risk (I’d like to have between 2 and 4 kids).
My career is going down the tubes, so my boyfriend’s career can flourish, I work way more than I ever expected, at a job I don’t like, I dislike where I live (which makes me unhappy), and I am sacrificing so much (he isn’t sacrificing anything, but personal space and alone time. He also spends less money with me living with him) all for a man who is unsure.
I know that this will be a personal choice, but I really need your advice.

I created a corporation in Nevada for corporate tax purposes. My company provides web design services for clients based in California. However, the work is done over the Internet.
Personally, I am a resident of California and will have to pay large amounts of income tax if I stay here. Though the flexibility of my work allows me to travel and be anywhere.
So, my questions are:
1) Should I be a California or become a Nevada resident for better tax purposes?
2) If I stay in California, do I need a Foreign corporation since my work is done over the Internet?
Based on what Tro said, I may have to create a Foreign Corporation in addition to my Nevada Corporation.
I am well aware of the costs since I have already paid them. I am merely asking about the relevancy and tax benefit for personally staying NV or CA.

I’m trying to figure out if this job is worth it or not..
Basically, I was offered a Telecommute job which would enable me to stay home ALL WEEK and work online, then meet with my supervisor (who lives nearly 3 hours away) once a week.
I would have to drive by myself 3 hrs there and 3 hrs back ONCE A WEEK. But I’d make up to / per hour at home during the rest of the week.
Would you take it and make the LONGGG drive anyway? The money is pretty good for pretty much easy work..
Would you or not? And why!?

I want to work for a company that cannot hire people from my state. However, my good friend lives in another state where they can hire. The job is telecommuting. I wouldn’t mind if my checks were sent to her house. What would the tax implications be for me, if I did this? For her? And is it legal? Is there any way to do it legally if not? Thanks
Just to add details I should have before: this is telecommuting work, freelance work, so it is not unusual for me to have about 10 employers a year. I file 1099s, not W2s. I just don’t want to do anything I can get in trouble for….thanks

There is me (35 weeks pregnant with baby #1) and my fiance. We live in apartments that are based on 30% of our income a month which is 1400 so our payment each month is 1. We are currently struggling to keep up with our rent with a light bill tv bill car payment all that good stuff we are constantly running behind on our rent. I have done some research on Section 8 housing because our parents have told us to look into it but from what I understand is they will only pay what is greater than 30% of your income. An example from what I found on the net is if your income is 00 and you want to stay at a home for 0 you will have to pay 30%… 0 and the Section 8 will cover the rest so if this is true are we doomed forever to pay 30% of our income 1????? I don’t have a job he does am I not right in saying that they will calculate that 3 people will be living off of his income so as to help us out or are we stuck at 1 no matter what? I could really use the help and any internet web sites would be of great help. Thank you.
