The idea behind side hustles is to earn extra income in our spare time and by doing this both increase income and reduce debt at the same time. I have worked with many clients who have done this and earned as much as an extra $2,000 per month and this is huge in terms of debt reduction. Even teenagers are getting into this by babysitting through care.com or even pet sitting or tutoring.
I will outline below many methods to accomplish these goals, but note that one of the best ones during covid was driving for door dash, clients earned a lot of money doing this.

Again, the idea is to create income while reducing debt and stress and speeding up your debt reduction process. This will also help in developing strong emergency funds, savings and maintaining your great budget. I highly recommend looking into this process and think about the things you are good at that you can help other people with-likes, skill sets, talents.
This can especially help one income families as well as students, but can work for anyone. I personally have friends doing a lot on buying and selling on Ebay and driving for door dash. Also, a lot of people are looking at taking on second jobs, at least while they work toward their debt elimination goals.
In todays’ climate with the economy and the amount of available jobs and employers paying big dollars to attract applicants, you can even earn up to $17.00 an hour with McDonalds, or 18-20.00 at Amazon or even car washes-the jobs are out there for the taking.
