Grace,

Thank you for your service and your post.

Look into buying a "Cricut Machine" and do company merchandise and events products for businesses, non-profits, fraternal, university, and other organizations. Buy products from the dollar stores to resell with your designs. Go on Amazon and click on "Best Sellers" to view the best sellers in each category like "tote bags" etc. Buy merch to add logos to with your logo to resell, or other companies to sell to them.

This may sound like a side business for an extra income but can be fruitful to replace a full-time income easily. Think catering and event planning not small events. A Wedding of 300 highball glasses that cost you $1 to buy and $5 retail to the customer is $1500. About $500 cost with labor and materials that's $1000 in your pocket. add your business to the top wedding sites, local wedding venues, or have your company as a built-in service again could be lucrative. Schools, churches, company logos on glass doors, the possibilities are endless. Anywhere in the world, you could do this. Use a Regus membership $99mo to have an office anywhere in the world. Pillows, clothing, bags, water bottles, etc. Get two, three, and four machines and hire interns for higher output. Youtube it and see if it interests you.

Look into "Work from home call center jobs" Work from home, $18-$25hr, flexible hours, etc.

Hope this helps.

Good luck and thank you for your time.
