Read time: ~2 minutes

Welcome Back, Fellow Parent

Today I want to talk about one of my favorite money topics - side hustles! Buzz word alert am I right?

While there are serious pros and cons to side hustles (especially as a parent), I want to focus on the pros for today, along with a few ideas to get started.

To me, side hustles aren’t just about making ends meet—they’re about following passions, creating new opportunities, and gaining the freedom to spend more meaningful time with your loved ones.

Our time as parents is limited, so I put together a list of 12 which are great to start with. Each of these should have a lower barrier to entry (including low startup costs) and can be profitable with a bit of elbow grease:
