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 October! Did you have a good
September? Our days continue to be
filled with spending as much quality time with the kids as possible. The weather has been cooling down lately, so
it’s been nice walking around our neighborhood.
Our
kids are finally playing with each other a little bit more.
Our
son loves jumping and playing at the Jumping
Fun Kids indoor bounce house. It’s
one of our go to spots on the weekend.
When
you have kids, there are endless amounts of birthday parties to attend. Here is our daughter hitting her first
piñata:
It’s
always fun visiting the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. I’m really glad we have membership passes to
the aquarium. Our kids love to run
around and see the different sea creatures.
As
our kids are growing up, I’d rather focus more on them than worry about trying
to hustle. I always encourage younger individuals to start saving and investing as much as they can before starting a family.
Here’s
our monthly summary of side income that we have generated in the previous month
of September.
Rental Income
On 9.5, we received a net profit of $450 from our rental property.
Side Job Income
On 9.7, I received a direct deposit of $187.50 for teaching at the local
university.
Survey Income
On 9.16, I received a $25 check from My Impact Network for completing a medical survey.
Miscellaneous Income
On 9.5, my wife and I both received a total of $200 for participating in an eye research study at the local optometry school. This took about 45 minutes of our time, with the majority of the time being spent filling out consent forms. The research basically involved having photographs of our eyes taken.

Walmart for their car seat recycling program.
In exchange for collecting the car seat, they gave us a $30 Walmart gift card.
