The great thing about
doing side hustles to generate extra income is that you can hustle on your own
terms. The more hard work, time, and
creative effort you put in, the more extra money you can make. You can hustle as little or as much as you
want, whenever you want. It’s your extra
money, and you can choose how you want to spend it. Instead of focusing on what ideas don’t apply to you, try focusing
on different side hustle ideas that you can implement to work for your
situation.
Welcome to February, the
start of another brand new month! Are
you watching the Superbowl this afternoon?
Now that January has ended, have you been starting this year off right?
2014
was a great year of relentless improvement of our finances. Together we
have managed to save 40% of our take
home income. We could have done better,
but we did a fair amount of splurging.
Saving
money is a hot topic around the office these days. Seems like there are a lot more people
bringing their own lunch. Maybe my
consistency in bringing lunch to work has set a good example for others? When it comes to New Year’s resolutions,
saving more money is a big one.
One
easy way to save more money is to do some hustling on the side. There is a limit to how much money you can
save (frugality only goes so far), but there are no limits to how much money
you can make.
