Ohio Teachers and Senate Bill 5

The bill to abolish collective bargaining just passed the Ohio Senate. Ohio teachers could be facing serious cuts in the near future. Now I know what you’re thinking; “I thought this was a Health and Fitness Blog”. Well as an Ohio teacher, this bill could have significant repercussions on my family’s healthcare. Who knows what will happen to teachers in the coming years. Whatever it is, it won’t be good. They may lower our salary. They may reduce our benefits. Maybe they’ll do both. But one way or another, Ohio teachers are going to lose money. In this blog, I will be discussing a way for teachers to potentially supplement their income. This blog may be a bit off-topic from my usual blog entries, but paying for healthcare is an aspect of being healthy, so I felt it was worth mentioning.
    We recently started a business venture called Discovery Toys. Discovery Toys is a company that sells educational toys that are not sold in stores. They are a legitimate business that has been around for many years. This is an ideal type of business for us because we have two small children. Our children love the toys and we love the fact that they are educational. But the best part is that Discovery Toys provides us with an opportunity to supplement my teacher income.
    As with any other business, becoming successful takes time. What you get out of a Discovery Toys business depends on what you put into it. Up until now, we have been somewhat casual about our Discovery Toys business. We have only been doing it part-time and therefore we have not made a lot of money (although we have gained a lot of toys for our kids). However we know a former teacher who is doing Discovery Toys full-time and started making her teacher income back after only two years. With Ohio teachers facing possible salary cuts and benefit reductions in the near future, we will probably start taking our Discovery Toys business more seriously from now on.
    If you are an Ohio teacher who is concerned about your future after Senate Bill 5, you may want to consider joining this business as well. If you would be interested in supplementing your teaching income like we are doing, please consider visiting our Discovery Toys webpage. You can find our contact information on that page. We can guide you as you work to get started in the business. The future of our healthcare is uncertain. Now is the time to start looking into additional or alternative sources of income.
