Y’all, we worked a lot in July.
The good news? Hit over $2,000 in side hustle revenue AGAIN!
The bad news- well, I worked a lot.
If you are new to our side hustle reports, here’s a quick breakdown of what they are and why we do them:
Each month we partake in various side hustles to increase our savings potential, learn a new skill, or just snag an extra buck.
These side hustles vary from contracted part time work to cash from apps. We keep some of the contracted work anonymous, but if we make money from a side hustle you can enjoy too (such as taking surveys, selling things, or using apps) we always share what they are.
Why do we track and share these numbers?
- Keep ourselves motivated and accountable
- Share that it’s possible to have side hustles even with a full time job
- Give you some ideas of what you can do!
We really feel having a side hustle is something everyone can do if they want. Whether it’s putting a skill you already have to use, learning a new one (and getting paid to do it) or just using some apps in your daily life to get some extra change.
So with that in mind, here is this month’s side hustle report:
July 2019 Side Hustle Report
There’s something so interesting about this idea of manifesting I’ve been learning about. I put out there that I was ready to make $2,000 a month (like I shared in June’s report) and then the universe was like, ok, here you go.
But I think there is a lesson in here too…At what cost?
Because most of my free time was working. Was that worth it?
I’m trying to think about the long game here- building a relationship with this side hustle, learning new skills, grinding now for future rewards.
But also struggling with how much is enough? When is it too much work? When is it past pushing yourself to grow and just crazy?
This is something I’m grappling with at the moment.
We want FI, but at what cost?
Would love any of your thoughts on this while we find our version of balance.
