Book more shows and save, save, save!!!! I got a plane ticket for 188 dollars round trip!!
Ask family to help you with your kiddos....
 
Garage sale! You can earn quite a bit of money that way.
 
You book more shows, save your money and do it! Does your husband support you going? Can he help watch the kids? My husband takes some time off work to watch mine, it's good because it gives him one on one attention with them. How about family? Friends? Next year join conference club and you won't have so much to worry about all at once.
 
What's conference club and how do you sign up?

After conference you will be able to sign up to have $'s taken from your commission check for conference. It is awesome.
 
If you have access to MegaBus, you can get to Chicago for as little as $5 each way!Although I sympathize ... I would LOVE to go to conference too and I agree it is worth it ... but don't let ANYBODY make you feel bad if you decide not to go. I have been trying to scrimp and save every penny and every time I think I have money saved, something comes up! It's getting more and more obvious that God does NOT want me there! :-(
