Side hustling, or the art of making money on the side, is great for many reasons. It can help you get out of debt, save extra money, or fund that elusive, hard-to-reach goal. Iām currently in the process of paying off $81k in student loans. Iām halfway into my journey and plan to be debt free in the next three or four years. My progress would not be possible without side hustling.
Of course, the extra money that comes from side hustling is the largest benefit, but there are many other unexpected benefits as well.

Great post, Melanie! (it won’t let me comment on that other website though). You may know I am not a big fan of side hustling simply because I’m too busy with my full time job and I really enjoy my free time, your post makes me want to reconsider things! š I too want $500 worth of free clothes! š
I’m happy I could make you reconsider a little š It’s definitely worth it. In your case, maybe pick things selectively.
Great post Melanie! I completely agree with new people and new experiences. You start networking with a whole new group of people.
Yes! It can really expand your network and knowledge!
