So there's a "Make Work/Life Balance Key" section with no argument as to how that maximises income and the very next section is "Always Be Working on a Side Hustle". What?
> A side hustle can provide supplemental income while providing you security if something goes south
What kind of money-making side-hustle can layer on top of a 40-50 hr/week job and _not_ negatively impact work/life balance? Pretty unconvincing.

There is a big difference between running a side hustle to make a little money on the side and running a side hustle with the objective to eventually found the next big thing startup. The former is pretty doable in my experience. I have three friends that run small volume productions of different speciality physical goods in their basements. From what they told me independently most work is packaging and shipping; "Once the CNC runs, it runs...". One of my friends sells art. I rent out property and there is always some work to do but overall it is pretty much doable besides a regular day job, having a family and maintaining work/life balance. I'm sure there are a ton of other examples, the only caveat here is that all that I can think of need at least a little investment.
- fierarul 7y agoI agree. Depends on the situation: if you are single and by life you mean going out, dating and having some trips then it's one thing. If you are married with children, especially young, I think the side hustle is a no-go.
