Developing a side business for extra income

Winter squash harvest - 2011
Q: I'd like to join your community. I was thinking of continuing to develop a little side-business so I could have some extra spending money. Would this be OK?
A: We're interested in creating communal businesses together. ALL income must be generated through communally operated services and industries, and the standard of living must be the same for all. As we establish an income stream, and communal businesses, it's possible that someone would have a job independent of communal industries. If so, he or she would contribute earnings to the common purse and all bills/needs would be covered out of that including a monthly stipend which you may spend however you like. 

Any businesses created by the community will be in alignment with our core values, i.e. environmentally conscious, service-oriented, helping people transition into a  life-style that is gentler on the Earth.
