Being a tail-end Baby Boomer, I also believe these reasons fit us oldish folks. I’ve been Side Hustling since the ’90’s when I needed money to earn my pilot’s license and build my airplane. Back then it was mainly production. Now my SH income comes from writing for a woodworking website.

Although retired, I began looking for something creative to do, then for something to make a little money. I discovered YAM and David Carlson, then his book Hustle Away Debt, Have read it a couple of times and recommend it highly.

I always look forward to great posts like this one, so I’ll keep my eyes open for more.

Shin

I have tried so many new things as side hustles that have given me experiences unlike anything I have encountered in my own education and career. It’s shown me some new things that I am good at and enjoy, and that some things are not necessarily my cup of tea. It is a great way to get some learning opportunities that might otherwise pass you by.

After doing content marketing on the side I finally decided to leave my full-time finance job to work as an online blogger for businesses! I love the freedom and flexibility of my own job, and I have the ability to ultimately decide how much I make. It’s well worth it and I tell everyone i meet that they should do something on the side that can keep them mentally sharp and earning. Thanks for sharing!

These were all valid points and I especially like how you said it can turn into a full time job. It can also be a job that you enjoy! One pitfall with side hustles is that if you are no well equipped with an adequate skill set you may find it very hard to make money.

We all can be too dependent on that paycheck so if it disappears, we find ourselves in trouble. Having a side hustle can help minimize that risk! Nice list!

In this economic environment, it’s in the individual’s best interest to develop as many skill sets, and streams of income, as possible. Definitely a case of more is better.

I think side hustles aren’t a ‘normal’ thing to do which is why some people don’t even think to do so! Hopefully more people will start their side hustling journey :-)
