Extra source of income has become the order of the day inorder to stay afloat or even build wealth in this current economy of recession and increased interest rates and charges.
Yeah, you are right, it's very bad in some countries than other countries because in some parts of the world, the minimum wage is so small that it cannot even be able to handle all the family bills, and where the pressing needs cannot even be completely settled, how then can they be able to save and build wealth? With the current economic situation, there really is a need for side hustles, which is why a lot of people are always looking for an extra source of income.
Building wealth is a result of consistent effort toward achieving a particular goal. It takes years and one must be disciplined enough to see it through the growing stages.
It's not just luck. It's like creating ones own opportunity in the field or area they have devoted a consistent effort in. The day just comes when everything clicks, and boom, we just call it luck, but it really isn't , because work was done behind closed curtains.
Cryptomultiplier, I once argued this right on this forum, but there was a simple idea I learned from a member's comment here. Yeah, we know that we have to do some work, be dedicated, be passionate, be consistent, and add more effort before we can be able to archive success in building a wealthy life for ourselves, but that doesn't mean that you can just easily get favored and become successful. Some people have been putting in those efforts for years, and they have remained consistent for years too, but they have not really built much wealth or become so successful. But in most cases, there are also some people who can just start something, and before you know it, boom, they go... They are already becoming more successful than that person who has been putting in all their efforts for years. So, some people are usually very lucky with just small efforts; they get favored so abruptly.
