In today’s climate, finding a job at any age isn’t easy, despite the reports of strong hiring growth. It’s even more challenging for baby boomers to find work, even though they want gainful employment.  Why is it so much harder for baby boomers to find jobs despite bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience? The […]

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.

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 […]

The following avenues to extra income are hustles that virtually anyone can do, though some […]

Night jobs have a bad reputation for being low-paying and unfulfilling. They are considered tiring, exhausting, and thankless. Even some jobs don’t even pay as much as they should. 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.
