What comes next
Over time I hope Life in the Middle Years can support itself through a handful of honest income streams: digital products, affiliate recommendations for things I genuinely use, thoughtful brand partnerships, hospitality experiences at the lakeside homestead and, eventually, a membership. I will share how each of these develops here in the journal.
Affiliate disclosure: some future links may be affiliate links, meaning I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Read the full disclosure.
