A Value-Based Side Hustle Can Help Grow Your Savings!

I’ve had several side hustles over the years. You might think that is because none of them generated much money by themselves and therefore I needed more than one to make any real cash. The truth is, most of my side hustles have developed out of my personal interests and passions. Making money was just an extra bonus!

This led me to realize that following my passions and putting my efforts into a value-based side hustle could help me grow my retirement nest egg. I already have a job that I enjoy, but being able to make some extra money on the side while doing something fun is a great way to boost retirement savings!

Weight loss seems elusive at times. The path to financial independence (FI) can also be unclear. Is it possible that the effort to lose weight and the path to FI have other similarities?

I started writing this post from high above the earth, on board a flight home after my niece’s wedding.

Yes, the wedding that I wanted to lose 10 pounds for.

I hope my niece and her husband get an early start on the path to FI.

Both the wedding and The Smart Fi’s Weight Loss Challenge are over. It’s time for a wrap-up to see how I did. Let’s also explore what weight loss and the path to FI have in common.
