The Real Math on Side Hustles

Before you start any side hustle, calculate your actual hourly rate. Include all the time you spend: commuting, preparing, administrative work, not just the time you're actively earning.

High Value Options

The best side hustles leverage skills you already have. A web developer doing freelance projects will earn more per hour than starting from scratch in a completely new field.

Making It Work

Side hustle burnout is real. You only have so many hours, and working every evening and weekend isn't sustainable. Be strategic about which opportunities you pursue.

Track Every Dollar

Side hustle income can be irregular and easy to lose track of. Use Spendify to monitor what's coming in and make sure those extra dollars are actually going where you intended.
