If you look back 50 years or more into history, you will see that the cost of living was much more affordable. It was typical for only one person in a household to have a job. It’s not as easy today. It is much harder to afford the essentials and still have money left over with even two people in a household working. So, what do you do? Start a side hustle!
A side hustle is an extra way to earn money besides simply working your regular job. If you have been considering starting a side hustle, think about what you are interested in and what skills you have. This is an opportunity to do something that you enjoy and utilize your skills to do it. Here are some ideas of what you can do to earn a little bit more cash.

Be sure to take the time to think everything through and plan everything carefully. Also, consider the amount of time, energy, and focus this will require.
