To make a living, we must work. In uncertain days like now facing the global economic downturn, a stable job with high income becomes a scarcity. A side job or business seems like more necessary than ever, which can minimize the risks of losing your current job, ending up pennyless. However, a side job/business also takes time and efforts and can never be attained whenever we need it. What did you do or will you do in order to ensure your finanical stability despite all unfavorable circumstances ?
A side job, or side hustle as some people call it, is essential in today's world. Working for the government or for a private company is not worth fully relying on, especially if you have a large family and people who rely on you for a living. You may lose your job in the private sector without explanation, but it is preferable to work in the public sector due to job security, even if the pay may not fully meet your needs.
Diversifying into a business to make extra money is critical because it will fill in the gaps that your employer's pay cannot. In a state where you are mostly preoccupied with your work, it is preferable to start a less stressful business. Working online, in my opinion, is preferable because most of this type of work can be done at your leisure. That way, you won't miss out on your initial job while still having time to work online at your leisure.
Every extra income makes total difference nowadays. It can be a wage or half wage every month, doesn't matter, it's definitely going to be a life changer for most people. It means a educational course you were willing to do, but didn't money to pay for it, or the subscription of a service aiming your welfare, leisure or health, it can mean extra food on your table every month, the acquisition of goods for your house, the rent payment or a DCA investment. It's not that easy to find hustle jobs, though, as there are many people attempting to apply for the same spots, and there are some even fully living from side jobs' income.
