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.
Once a month (usually on the 1st), I like to post a
short summary of our personal and financial situation for the previous month. Here I’ll share some of what’s been going on
with our lives and our side hustles.
Welcome
to November! Can you believe Halloween
is behind us and Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year are coming up?! How was your October?
We
had a nice month without any financial emergencies. The stock market has been on a wild ride
lately. At one point, our investment
portfolio lost over $40,000 in value
in just a few days! We’ve been investing
for a long time so it wasn’t too much of a shock for us. While there was a minor correction in the
market, it’s just a normal part of market ups and downs. A stock
market crash is coming but we continue to invest for the long term. When prices go down, we pick up more shares.
Our
son loves exploring the neighborhood. We
are lucky to live in an area surrounded by parks, trees and playgrounds. One thing we’ve noticed is that there are
rarely people at the playgrounds – so we get the whole place to ourselves! Our son enjoys the little things right now
such as: slides, swings, balloons and playing in the sand.
This
was the first year our son went Trick or Treating in the neighborhood and he
loved the experience of walking up to neighbors and collecting candy! He is too picky to try eating the candy but
he collects all the goodies and pretends they are treasures. Same with our daughter, she loves the crinkling sounds of the candy wrappers.
Here’s
our monthly summary of side income that we have generated in the previous month
of October.
Cash Back
On 10.2, I received $10.23 deposit in my Discover Cashback Checking account.
On 10.8, I received a $20 statement credit in my AMEX Blue Cash Everyday

promotion was for 10% cash back on purchases related in insurance. This was perfect timing as we paid off our
year of home insurance.
On 10.13, I received a $25 statement credit in my AMEX Blue Cash Everyday
credit card for cash back redemption.
This is our go to credit card for grocery store shopping. It earns 3% cash back at grocery stores and
has no annual fee.
On 10.18, my wife received a $10.37 statement credit on her new AMEX Gold card. Part of this card’s sign up bonus is 20% cash
back on restaurant purchases up to $100 cash back within the first 3
months. Also, she will earn 50,000 Membership Rewards bonus after
spending $2,000!
