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. While I don’t often post articles, I am
committed to documenting all of my side hustle income. Here I’ll share some of what’s been going on
with our lives and our side hustles.
Welcome
to April! Did you have a good March? The
weather has been great in Southern California with plenty of sunshine well past
7:00pm. Looking back, we spent much of
the month outdoors on long walks and playing in the park around our
neighborhood. Sometimes I get annoyed at
how much our property taxes cost each year ($7,588) and how much our HOA dues
cost each year ($2,040), but then I experience the wonderful walking paths and
playgrounds we have access to just outside our front door. I am thankful to be a part of our
neighborhood and community.

Our
kids continue to grow so quickly. Our
son will be 4 years old soon and our daughter is already 15 months old! They love spending time outside, reading, and
playing with their toys. We continue to
try to make our time with family as joyful as possible. It’s not easy when our kids fight with each
other or when our son refuses to share and play nicely with others, but it’s
all a part of growing up. We continue to
work hard as we push towards our financial freedom.
Here’s
our monthly summary of side income that we have generated in the previous month
of March.
Cash Back
On 3.1, I received $10.23 deposit in my Discover Cashback Checking account. This is 1% cashback from paying our rental
property with my Discover debit card.
On 3.1, I received a $4.00 statement credit on my Freedom Unlimited credit card from
Chase Offers. Chase now offers special
cash back promotions on purchases made from participating retailers, sort of
like American Express Offers. This was
5% off purchases made at Kriser’s, a local pet store we get dog food from.
Rental Income
On 3.5, we received a net profit of $450 from our rental property.
Side job income
On 3.29, I received a direct deposit of $187.50 for teaching at the local
university. Teaching continues to be one
of my favorite side hustles.

to focus on being with my family more.
