The Hustle Years
The Hustle Years is about maximizing your working lifetime both professionally and personally. This covers a variety of topics (Careers, Side Hustles, Personal Finances, Marriage, Kids, Family, and more). Get the most out of your working lifetime so you can one day retire with dignity and lived the life you wanted.
There is no reason why you should be stuck in the paycheck to paycheck lifestyle with so many ways to make money. The problem is that sometimes you are just so busy that you don't have time to think or strategize what you can do or how to accomplish making more money.
There are so many ways to monetize your life in 2017, you just need to keep your eyes open to all the opportunities that are available even if between work and kids you are feeling run down.
Some of the things you can do is turn cooking for the family into a YouTube cooking show, a show on doing arts/crafts with the kids, or any parenting advice/hacks you know. Blog about what you are doing (Your debt free journey, family, marriage, or anything else that is helping you to accomplish your goals and improve your life).
It doesn't all have to be about YouTube, Blogging, or Podcasting. You can look are retail arbitrage, creating physical products or even digital products you sell. If you research enough, you will find ways to turn normal activities into making some money such as scanning receipts.
It's not as though I am saying that if you do these items you will become an instant success or make millions overnight. The idea is that any amount of money you can find ways to make is better than not making any money at all and the more ways you can find to monetize your life is worth it if you are struggling/living paycheck to paycheck.
The worst thing you can do when you make a financial mistake or are in financial distress from past bad decisions to the make the situation worse by doubling down on your mistakes. Ignoring the mistakes and continuing on without making any changes is just as bad.
I don't care what you think, you need an emergency plan in place. It's not a matter of if an emergency happens, only a matter of when. This is even more important when you have a family to take care of.
Your Emergency plans need to be able to cover financial emergencies, medical emergencies, and natural disasters.
Your emergency plan is not just about having an emergency fund. Yes, you do need to have money saved up for an emergency that if financial in nature (Job loss, the car breaks down, or suddenly needing surgery). Beyond that you also need an emergency supply of food if the disaster is natural disaster or attack on the country. There are places that sell emergency food supplies such as http://www.mypatriotsupply.com. Lastly, in the worst case scenario, you need a way to protect your family and your emergency supplies from looters or those who were unprepared and desperate. Help the desperate if you can, but your number one priority is your own family.
If only one of you is taking on all the responsibilities, that person will become resentful of the other. This can destroy your relationships and your productivity in reaching your goals.
