Side hustles November 2020

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 December! Did you have a good November?  With coronavirus cases on the rise, it’s been a quiet month for us.  We are staying away from amusement parks, public dining and large gatherings during this time.  We did not have a big Thanksgiving dinner gathering this year, opting to stay home by ourselves instead.  While some might think that we are being overly cautious, we have been most thankful for our health this year.

We continue to try to come up with fun activities at home such as painting, reading, building Legos and drawing.  With the air quality clearing up, we try to go on outdoor walks regularly.

Here’s our monthly summary of side income that we have generated in the previous month of November.

Cash Back 
On 11.19, I received a $150 statement credit on my Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card.  Chase has been offering some users a retention offer bonus just for calling in.  It was worth a shot to get $150 cash after a 5 minute phone call!  Other users have reported getting up to $250 in statement credits.
