Long story short, I had a bunch of airline miles expiring and cashed in by choosing a 1-year subscription to about 5 magazines. Typically I put one in the bathroom and go through a couple of pages each morning while I blow-dry my hair. I try to give each one the benefit of the doubt and read at least the most interesting 2 or 3 articles before it hits the recycling bin. Anyway, when I saw the headline “Design your Dream Job – Get inspired by 10 amazing women I did just that”, I was intrigued. Here is a summary of the results:

• Woman 1: had kids, quit her job, took time while staying at home to decide what she really wanted to do
• Woman 2: had a kid, began researching recipes and eventually took the time while staying at home to develop recipes that could make her money
• woman 3: had a kid, took some time off to decide what she wanted to do
• …and so on…

see the pattern? And now, the number one reason of “things that pulled me through the launch” is…(drumroll)…”A great husband who shares 50-50 in the house and allows me to use our life savings”

Obviously this magazine isn’t for me. Or almost anyone in their 20s. Umm…or anyone trying to deal with the upcoming recession.
