Extreme Couponing

When I lived overseas, I met Jane, a lady whose supervisory IT job was outsourced to another country. The company where she worked had downsized and was cutting staff in every department, particularly those in middle management. Jane had difficulty finding another IT job after that. However, the state where she lived had an abundance of nursing jobs, but a shortage of qualified nurses to fulfill those jobs. That motivated Jane to study for her nursing degree. During that time and while Jane’s family was living under one income, Jane discovered the wonders of extreme couponing and became obsessed with it. Extreme couponing is a shopping activity that allows the shopper to buy more groceries at discount prices by shopping with coupons at the right time (for example, during buy 1 get 1 free sales). Jane became very good at extreme couponing, so friends started asking her for extreme couponing tips. Inundated with requests to teach others how to use extreme couponing, she decided to share her tips on a blog online. Being a keen investor, she also included in her blog investment tips that worked for her. Her blog became a hit and she started making money through the advertisements on her blog. Browse this site, to learn more explanations about the services of internet connection. 

This online “side job” would not have been possible without the Internet and fast Internet connections like broadband, which allowed Jane to send and receive a high amount of data. Internet providers Sydney offer a wide range of broadband plans, which can be delivered via a fixed line or wireless. These Internet providers charge according to the type of broadband connection, speed and data limits chosen by the user. Unlimited Internet plans are ideal for frequent Internet users who download large amounts of files such as movies, pictures, songs, content-heavy websites and online games.

Jane eventually obtained her nursing degree and, by choice, is working part-time as a registered nurse. Her life today is far removed from her previous life as an IT supervisor. She no longer has to rush from one appointment to another, has time to attend all her son’s school and extra-curricular activities and even has time for a regular coffee and chat with family and friends. Thanks to her Internet broadband plan, her online blog is going strong. It sometimes keeps her busier than her nursing job, but it allows her to share about the two things that she is passionate about: extreme couponing and investments. Her blog attracted such a large following that it earned her a handsome sum from advertisements. She used the earnings to invest in gold, silver and shares. Looking back, I can’t help but admire this woman who didn’t let her job loss keep her down. Instead, she used it to reinvent herself and in the process, bought herself more free time with the help of the Internet.
