Here’s what you need to know about me. I recently got a new job that I enjoy, but it’s fewer hours than before.

This means, of course, that I need to find other ways of generating income. I’m 58 years old, so in addition to earning money for the here-and-now, I have an eye on setting myself up for a solid and varied part-time income when I reach retirement age. 

Also: In the last 10 years I’ve spent waaayyyyy too much time mindlessly scrolling social media. Maybe you can relate?

Long story short, I’ve become obsessed with side hustles. My YouTube feed is filled to the brim with Money Making Videos. Usually, the thumbnails scream at you that you can get rich quick if you just watch the video and follow along. Use AI to write books! Create digital products! Make faceless YouTube videos! Honestly, it’s all kind of exhausting.

It’s exhausting, but I’m still motivated to try some things out. I’m blessed to have a Mom who just turned 96 years old. I want to be able to spend more time with her, which means traveling across the country, which means I need to be able to have some work I can do elsewhere. If other people are making even a little bit of money from the comfort of their own couch, to bolster their income from their regular jobs, well… I want a piece of that too.

On this blog I share what side hustles I’ve tried, what the results were, and how you can follow suit. Happy to have you on this journey with me!
