I have a full-time job working 9-5 in an office, with a small salary. I really like my job, and it's on the bottom of a ladder in the career industry I want to work in. But the cost of living has made my disposable income almost miniscule. I've begun to get anxious about social events because of my lack of money. I live in London as well, which means most of my money goes into paying rent, electricity, water, food and travelling to and from work (which costs me about £250 a month).
I've begun looking for other jobs to work on the weekend, or in the evenings on weekdays. I've even considered quick and easy forms of passive income. I’ve even considered things that I would never usually consider. I want something that can pay tips, and pay well. But I may become exhausted, and is it sustainable I don’t know?
I keep seeing so many things on my newsfeed about passive income and side-jobs. Is this a thing?
I don’t need advice. But I’d love to know what other people are doing. Do you have a side hustle? If so, What is it? And when and why did you take it up?
