By: Whitney Nicely | Think Save Retire Only a handful of years ago, I was working in my parent’s trucking business making a mere $500 each week, living for the adventure of weekends away (that I could hardly afford), and hating most days of my existence. This was not the life I signed up for. In the span of only a few months, I took my life by the reigns, decided to make some major changes, and started taking big risks. I failed, several times in fact…but I never gave up. My focus for change came in the form of real estate investing, and in the beginning, I charged hard and fell hard. Then, th ..read more

By: Steve | Think Save Retire As most of you know, I love the idea of side hustles and earning money after early retirement. In fact, making money doing something that you enjoy is not only super rewarding, but it’s also one of the most productive uses of our time – especially after we’ve called it quits from full-time work. Let’s say that you have a passion for earning money, but you haven’t been able to put your finger on how exactly to make that happen. I’ve been there. The other day, I got to ask Andrew Schrage, co-owner of the very pofpular Money Crashers website that gets millions of mon ..read more

By: Money Pedals It’s a new year! Isn’t that wonderful considering how quickly expended the previous year had been? I am very sure you had prepared your financial plan for this year, which is great. If your financial plan for this year includes seeking ways to accelerate your financial success. You’ve made a laudable move. Sadly, many people have entered into this New Year with a lot of hopes and wishes for great financial success but the highest percentage will be disappointed by the end of the year. Sorry if I sound somewhat negative or direct but in reality, it’s just a simple, direct truth ..read more

By: Kelly Burch | Fabric My husband and I sat in the mortgage broker’s office, running the numbers as we prepared to buy our first house. My husband is a cop and I’m a freelance writer, so most people assume his job is the cornerstone of our financial security. They’re wrong. The broker asked my husband all the income-related questions to figure out if we were financially stable. He didn’t really ask me. “Honestly, Kelly’s income is more stable, so that’s what we should probably be talking about,” my husband told the broker. The man looked surprised. “What exactly do you do?” At the time, my h ..read more

By: Tom Blake | This Online World I talk about side hustles a lot. As a college student, I have good reason to frequently mention this topic seeing as I believe starting a side hustle is absolutely vital for anyone in school. Additionally, I think the world of online money making is generally interesting and fun, so I argue that starting a side hustle or developing new income streams is a worthwhile (and fun) endeavor for anyone to take part in. That being said, I understand that it can be intimidating to take the first step. I was in the conundrum-camp just 9 months ago when I decided to give ..read more

By: Marc | Vital Dollar If you follow my blog it’s no secret that I’m a fan of side hustles as a way to make extra money and work towards financial freedom. My own personal experience with side hustles is the reason I recommend this approach. My online business originally started as a design blogging side hustle (in 2007), and within a year and a half of consistent effort, it produced an income that allowed me to leave my full-time job. But that experience from 2007-2008 isn’t what I want to talk about today. The story that you’re about to read happened a few years later. While I was running m ..read more

By: Marianne Hayes | Grow Nearly 40 percent of Americans are rocking at least one side gig, a recent Bankrate survey found—and the average hustler brings in $686 per month. If earning more money is on your 2019 resolutions list, these gigs can help. With a relatively low barrier to entry, they don’t require much time or even talent to get started. Get paid for grocery shopping. You’re going to the grocery store anyway; why not get paid? Grocery-delivery companies Shipt and Instacart pay up to $20-$22 per hour—plus tips—to fill grocery orders for others. Tie this gig to your regular shopping tr ..read more
