Finding A Side Hustle
One Way To Beat Inflation
I have a two-year plan to quit my job and it was going great until this past six months or so. It seems like every time I turn around, items are costing more and more. Unfortunately, that leaves less left over at the end of the month to put into savings.
My plan to counter-balance this is to start up a few side hustles.
One of those side hustles will be our laser/coaster business. My husband and I plan on setting up a table in front of a local store at the end of the month. It will cost us only $10 so as long as we sell one item, that will cover the cost.
Part of the issue comes from having to build up inventory in such a short amount of time, and covering the costs of materials until we start getting some income rolling in.
I think it has great potential as far as making money goes. So far, we’ve probably spent about $1,000 on the laser and materials. Now it’s just a matter of setting up a website, advertising, and actually getting out there and selling.
As of today, we could show up with approximately $300 worth of product if everything sold. This isn’t a get-rich quick scheme, but if we could start making some money from it in the next year, that would be amazing.
