| Intangible Benefits Can Add Up For Those Who Work From Home |
| 12.28.04 (7:58 am) |

[b]Working from home offers benefits that just aren't available to anyone else. Whether monetary or lifestyle, these benefits can far outweigh those found at a job as an employee. Whether you work at home already, are thinking about it, or your life circumstances now make working from home either necessary or possible, be sure to think these benefits through as you evaluate your options.[/b] It isn't always the financial benefits that are a primary motivator. Quick financial rewards can and do occur, but many people are willing to take a reduction in immediate financial rewards in order to enjoy the intangible, but very real and powerful, benefits they will find working from home. One of the most powerful draws to working at home is the sense of time freedom you can gain by being able to make your own schedule. You can freely set appointments, do your shopping, and run other errands to your own schedule, rather than trying to fit everything in to a lunch hour or on the way home from work when everyone else is doing the same thing. You are able to attend your child's school plays, teacher conferences, and other important events without feeling guilty for being away from work. You are able to schedule leisurely lunches, stop to watch your favorite afternoon talk show, or spend some time with friends visiting from out of town. You may need to start work earlier or work later in order to do these things - but the point is that those are all options when working for yourself. With time freedom also comes perhaps the biggest and most important long-term benefit of all - more opportunity to stay connected with family, friends, and community. Staying at home with a newborn or sick child, taking a special day with your significant other, volunteering at a church or civic organization, pursuing your own hobbies and interests - all can contribute to both your own emotional health and that of your loved ones. In addition to time freedom, another big benefit of working at home is relief from stress. Of course, any business will likely bring its own form of stress, and working for yourself in any business is no different. But there are certain stressful situations that can be avoided by working at home. And the less stressed you are, the more energy and enthusiasm you have, energy that can be spent on your family or business! The daily commute can literally be a few feet to an office or other work area. There's no rush to get up, get dressed, gulp down breakfast, and fight through crowded rush hour streets. There's no commute home at the end of the day either, and that time and energy can be put to use working on your business, doing something for yourself, or being with your family. Not only can you work according to your own schedule, but you can work at a pace that feels comfortable for you as well. When you schedule projects either for yourself or your customers, you can realistically set an appropriate time line that works for you. Many office and other jobs are driven by constant, never-ending, rushed, multi-tasking deadlines. Sometimes bosses can be overbearing because they themselves are driven by pressure from above to complete projects quickly, or by their own internal pressure so they will be recognized for potential advancement. Things can be much more relaxed at home, if you plan accordingly. Even tasks as simple as being able to grocery shop when the stores are less crowded, stand in much shorter lines at the vehicle registration department, or set a doctor's appointment sooner because of a more flexible schedule can all relieve life's stresses just a little bit. Collectively, then can make a big difference in an average day for anyone working from home.

| Envelope Stuffing Scam |
| 12.21.04 (1:55 am) |
|
Avoid Work-at-Home Envelope Stuffing Opportunities Arizona Attorney general Terry Goddard, in association with the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC"), has issued a special warning to Arizona residents to be wary of work-at-home envelope stuffing schemes. Does this ad sound familiar? $550 to $3,000 weekly. Ten dollars for each circular you mail...Free postage...Free circulars...No newspaper ads...No magazine ads...No bulletin board ads! Paychecks mailed to you every week! Advance paycheck forms included in your package! Ads for envelope stuffing "opportunities" seem to be everywhere--from your mailbox to your newspaper to your email box. Promoters usually advertsie that, for a "small" fee, they will tell you how to earn big money from stuffing envelopes at home. And they claim that they will pay you a certain amount of money for each envelope stuffed, resulting in hundreds or thousands of dollars for you each week. These ads may seem appealing, especially if you are looking for a home-based business. But according to the FTC, ads like these don't tell the whole story, because the promoters really aren't offering you a job. Instead, say FTC attorneys, after you send your money, you are likely to get a letter telling you tom place the same "envelope-stuffing ad in newspapers or magazines, or to send the ad to friends and relatives. The only way you'll earn money is if people respond to your ad. In fact, the promoters themselves rarely pay anyone. If you are tempted by an envelope stuffing "opportunity," here are some questions to ask the promoters before you send any money or sign up to receive more information: Who will pay me? When will I get my first paycheck? Will I be paid a salary or will my pay be based on commission? What tasks will I have to perform? What is the total cost of the envelope stuffing program, including supplies, equipment and membership fees? What will I get for my money? The answers to these questions may help you determine whether an envelope stuffing promotion is legitimate, and appropriate for your circumstances. It may also help to check out the program with the Better Business Bureau, Attorney General's Office or consumer protection agency in both the area where the business is located and in your local area. These organizations can tell you if they have received complaints or filed any charges against the organization that you are interested in. Remember, just because there are no complaints doesn't necessarily mean that the envelope stuffing business is legitimate. Unscrupulous promoters may settle complaints, change their names, or move to avoid detection. If you have spent money and time on a work-at-home program and now believe the program may not be legitimate, contact the company and ask for a refund. Let company representatives know that you plan to notify officials about your experience. If you can't resolve the dispute with the company, file a complaint with these organizations: The Federal Trade Commission works for the consumer to prevent fraud and deception. Call 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357) or log on to www.ftc.gov. The Arizona Attorney General's Office at 602-542-5763 or 1-800-352-8431 Your local consumer protection offices. Your local Better Business Bureau. Your local postmaster. The U.S. Postal Service investigates fraudulent mail practices. The advertising manager of the publication that ran the ad. The manager may be interested to learn about the problems you've had with the company. This information was provided by the Arizona Attorney General's Office. |

| 'Home-Alone America' examines parent trap that fuels neglect |
| 12.17.04 (5:48 am) |

By Edward Wyatt | The New York Times Posted December 17, 2004 If any book tempts readers to judge its contents by the cover, it is Home-Alone America, whose jacket photograph shows Mom leaving for work in her power suit and pumps as Junior clings to her ankle. Any passions left uninflamed might be stirred by the book's subtitle: "The Hidden Toll of Day Care, Behavioral Drugs and Other Parent Substitutes." That seems to label it as another book bashing working moms, blaming them for the ills of society and condemning them for putting their happiness ahead of their children. Not so, says Mary Eberstadt, the author of Home-Alone America (Sentinel, $25.95). "This isn't a finger-pointing book," she says in an interview. "It's not a blaming book. It's an attempt to deliver what I know to be an out-of-the-box examination of a serious social question. That question is, why do kids today have serious problems that their parents' generation and their grandparents' generation did not?" Authors on both the left and the right have produced scores of books in recent years that either laud motherhood as the greatest profession or insist that mothers are able to provide substantive role models for their children only by working outside the home. What Eberstadt says makes Home-Alone America different is that it looks not at mothers or fathers or work or other grown-up concerns; rather, she says, it looks at what is happening to children: obesity, high rates of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease, and the rapidly growing use of psychiatric medications even among very young children. "I'm trying to move the spotlight," she says. "I'm making an honest effort to get the adults off the stage." She also stresses that she does not want to cast blame for those problems on working mothers. "Half the book," she says, "is about what happens when you take Dad out of the house, whether through unwed motherhood or divorce." Stark picture of youth Many experts -- not to mention many moms -- could dispute that a mother's working outside the home is comparable to a dad abandoning the family. Home-Alone America presents a stark picture of American youth. Citing sources as varied as The Maury Povich Show and the Journal of the American Medical Association, Eberstadt cites rapidly rising rates of obesity among kids. She offers disturbing statistics about the growth in the use of psychiatric drugs to treat attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity. And she includes troubling figures on teen pregnancy and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Eberstadt's book attempts to link these problems to absent parents. Obesity, she writes, is in large part the product of a lack of supervision when children return every afternoon to empty homes or are mollified by sugary snacks in day care or at after-school programs. So many children are medicated, she says, because parents spend less time with them, and therefore do not know how children really behave. And while they are unsupervised, teenagers, not surprisingly, are sometimes having sex. Other authors who have studied parenting and its effects question whether the connection that Eberstadt makes between these problems and absent parents is quite so clear. Take obesity, for example. "A lot of devoted, around-the-clock parents take their kids regularly to McDonald's," says Ann Crittenden, the author of The Price of Motherhood: Why the Most Important Job in the World Is Still the Least Valued. If such a link were so clear, she argues, obesity rates should be much lower in families with stay-at-home mothers. Necessary evil Eberstadt, a Washington-based research fellow for Stanford's Hoover Institution, says she recognizes that many mothers have to work out of economic necessity. "But this is a book for people who have choices," she said. A child of divorced parents, Eberstadt expresses surprise when it's suggested that readers are likely to wonder about how her own children fare when she is working. She addresses that in her introduction. "Three of my children are in school all day long and the youngest is on the verge of it," she writes. "I have a part-time paid baby sitter who is upstairs while I'm down," where she has her home office, "a husband who often works at home, and older children who also help with the youngest one." Again, she adds, the book is as much about the effects of divorce as about working mothers. "Some families divorce and the kids turn out fine," she says. "Some families divorce and the kids are miserable and develop serious problems. I'm not generalizing. . . . I'm saying step back and look at the scene as a whole." |
