Hence why I said to follow the flowchart.
- tempsy 7y agoI also think the reddit personal finance crowd is way too focused on how to invest their existing money when almost everyone would be better off figuring out how to make more money from their day job than worrying about whether they can make 4% here vs 5% there from their existing savings. Perhaps less true if you have a large savings of over $1M already, but otherwise no.
- thrower123 7y agoOr cutting extraneous expenses. It's cliche, but really, making your own coffee and packing lunch can save $20-25 a day. That adds up fast.
- tempsy 7y agoTrue, though I’m in the camp of “make enough money where I don’t have to feel guilty spending money on food”. If you’re more income strained then yes though.

- mateo411 7y agoThis is true, but it's also a good thing to go to lunch or have coffee with other people. You'll get personal enjoyment out of it, and if you are talking shop, the relationship you build could offset the savings of packing your own lunch. For example it's common that you will regularly have lunch with a work colleague, and then later they will recruit you to work at another company. Or they will give you insight on how to get support behind your project at your current company.
- thrower123 7y agoThat might work for some, but lunch is also one of the few blessed hours of the day that one can get the hell away from other people and be alone. It's an invaluable battery and sanity recharging time.
- Moodles 7y agoOk. It takes an hour though and it’s not particularly hard. I just wanted to answer OP’s question.
- SuoDuanDao 7y agoIs there a flow chart for figuring out how to make more money from one's day job? I've heard this line of thinking before but people are always frustratingly vague about the income side of things.
