MarkRobin Some programs such as PADI make it easy to move your hobby into a career.

I agree with you everyone should make their hobbies into work. In my opinion, It is the great way to make money doing the things which we love. :)

This post made me literally laugh out loud because I struggle with this so much! I recently realized that I had no actual “hobbies” because everything that might fall into that category ends up being part of my work. I’m trying to do more things just for fun now, but it’s a struggle — I’m really not good at relaxing and taking time off anymore!

DebtChronicles I think you have a good balance. I need to embrace and spend more time on hobbies that won’t become income, such as reading and working out.

Sarah Brooks Glad to have you here, Sarah! I just read your freelance writing post and left a lengthy comment. It’s something that I’ve been pursuing to a greater degree and I really hope to gain a couple more clients before the end of the year.

Hi! New reader here! I think everyone should try to make their hobbies become work. After all, that brings truth to the saying, “If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.”

Writing and personal finance are my two huge passions outside of my family. I’ve been freelance writing for over two years now, but not in finance. While I’ve done a few things here and there with PF writing, I decided to start my own blog so I could get all my ideas out there! So yes, I absolutely will try to turn every hobby of mine into a way to make money (but I’m also fascinated w/ finance…so maybe that’s why us PF bloggers try to monetize everything!).

Anyways, happy to be following along!!

I’m able to keep them separate. Blogging was always meant to be a “side hustle.” Although it’s grown far larger than I ever thought it would. My other hobbies (running, working out, and BBQ) are strictly in the “hobby zone.”
