Recently, we’ve begun to think about being truly free from the repetitive grind of traditional work. Having pared our lives down by going small, living with less, and being debt free, it’s now time to seek out different options.
Both of us are late bloomers when it comes to investing and thinking about leaving traditional employment. We started to think about and research ways to making extra income.
Unfortunately selling eggs and vegetable gardening is not going to support us in our retirement years.
The benefits of making extra money by just dedicating a couple of hours a day could be the impetus for reaching financial freedom sooner. Earning cryptocurrency is an obvious choice, but it’s difficult to be liquid with this tech during its infancy.
Making those extra dollars can help you pay off your debt quicker. Take a nice vacation.
Stop living payday to payday. Leave your current job sooner. Splurge on products you’d like to purchase that seem like luxury items.
Here’s My List of the best ways to make extra money.
