The typical backroom accountant probably wouldn’t do well as a fundraiser, and vice versa. Our personalities and proclivities lend themselves to different professional roles, and knowing your strengths and limitations can be the first step in finding a fruitful career—or side hustle. Do you have a distaste for dinner parties? A shortcoming for socializing? An […]

There’s a long-standing belief that the best path to a six-figure salary is attending college and earning a bachelor’s degree or higher. While this may be the path for some high earners, it’s not necessarily true for everyone.  Blue-collar careers don’t require a four-year college degree yet pay over $100,000 a year. Some of these […]

A penny found is better than a penny earned, as you don’t have to pay taxes on the penny found (until you spend it, at least). Even better than seeing a penny, why don’t you try to find something lying around your attic or closet and flip it for a few thousand bucks? This isn’t […]

Many of us roll our eyes when someone tells us to make a living doing what we love. Money is the end, even if we don’t always enjoy the means to that end.  What if you could do something fun and make a significant income doing it? While $1,000 per week may not be the […]

With most people struggling to make their income outpace their expenditures, an extra $500 a month could go a long way.

This is why many people tend to avoid night jobs and choose daytime employment instead. But the truth is, plenty of night jobs out there pay […]

If you’re over 21, you’ve probably done a job you hated. For me, the job I always said I couldn’t get paid enough to do is juvenile corrections. Imagine fifteen teenagers caged up with nothing better to do than cause more trouble than they’re already in. No, thanks.  However, occasionally, you might encounter a job […]

The tide has turned on higher education. Student debt is the financial albatross that dominates TikTok and Wall Street Journal headlines alike, and the idea of working nine-to-five cubicle jobs is just not very…Millennial.  Generation Z could embody a backlash against the established norm, with some calling them the “toolbelt generation.” Many young bucks seem […]

While the average American has to work at least 40 hours a week to survive, rich people generally know how to stay rich and become richer with little effort. It’s one thing to increase personal wealth by working hard; it’s another to increase wealth passively and literally let the money roll in.  The most impressive […]

Most people enjoy keeping a few extra dollars in their pocket. Today, everything is expensive, asking us to work more, earn more, and spend more.
