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 ?
Increasing your income and having multiple sources of income can indeed help increase your financial stability rather than relying on just one source of income. However, choosing a side job must be done wisely. And I think now you can take advantage of the internet space as a side job because it can provide enormous opportunities for your side job, one of which is to take advantage of this forum.
You also have to make sure that the side job won't interfere with your main job and you can still provide the focus and productivity needed at your main job. If your side job continues to grow and is making you more money than your main job, then considering focusing on a side job could be a good option. However, make sure you have weighed the risks associated with relying on one main source of income and have a backup plan in case something should happen to your side job.
Finally, remember that the key to getting rich is not only to make more money, but to keep your spending wise, invest smart, and develop healthy financial habits.
