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 November, another
new month. Did everyone have a fun and
safe Halloween?
It’s been a busy month
here with our baby boy. It’s amazing
watching his reflexes develop. He keeps
getting bigger and stronger. Seeing him
grow gives us the motivation to work hard towards reaching financial freedom
ASAP. My wife is going back to work in a
few weeks, and not looking forward to that.
Time passes by so quickly. Things
will be very different with balancing our work schedules, daycare drop off /
pick up, raising our son, caring for our dog, and enjoying a social life. Luckily, both of us have short 10-15 minute
daily commutes. But it’s still going to
be tough finding time.
Here’s our monthly
summary of side income that we have generated in the previous month of October.
