Investing might sound scary or intimidating, but really it’s about one simple idea:
How to make your money work for you.
You earned it once, now how can you multiply it in a way that aligns with your risk tolerance?
It’s weird, but I sit on both ends of the spectrum on this, at once having made big bets on my own business and experimenting with “alternative” investment platforms, and on the other hand being paralyzed into sitting on the sidelines by fear the market might go down.
In this section of the site, you’ll find information on real estate investing, trading stocks, and even buying businesses.
Your net worth is the sum of all your assets (cash, savings, mutual funds, equity in your home, etc.) minus your liabilities (student loans, credit card debt, mortgages, etc.).
One tool I like to help calculate your net worth is Personal Capital. It’s free!
What’s the goal of your investment? A goal of accumulating wealth to retire in 30 years is very different than a goal of earning $1000 a month in passive cash flow.

What if you could make your rent or mortgage payment go away?
Or, what if instead of paying that expense every month, your living situation actually paid you?
It’s not as far-fetched as it may sound.
In fact, that’s exactly what today’s guest, Craig Curelop, has done by intentionally “house hacking” over the past few years.
In 2015, I started building what I call “my cash flow portfolio.” This is a specific set of investments designed first and foremost to generate interest and dividends.
My thinking was: how can I get paid over and over again from work I do once?
And by investing for cash flow, I could turn every “extra” $1,000 I earned into $20-80 a year in truly passive income … forever.
What can your side hustle make free?
That’s what The Side Hustle Snowball framework tries to answer.
This week’s guest is a long-time Side Hustle Show listener who reached out with a unique side hustle: what’s essentially a part-time lead generation website.
Link Moser runs NHFineHomes.com, which features high-end, lakefront real estate listings in New Hampshire.
According to Neighbor.com, you can make money turning your extra space into into storage.
But is it a legit side hustle? How does Neighbor work — and how much work does it take?
In this review, we’ll explore the pros and cons of Neighbor.com, so you can decide if it makes sense to monetize your unused space.
I’ve been excited about alternative investments since my early days as an aspiring real estate investor and peer-to-peer loan shark.
If you’re bored/scared/disillusioned with the “traditional” stock market and mutual fund asset classes, or if you just are curious what else is out there, this post is for you.
The cool thing is we’re living in a golden age of alternative investment opportunities, and it was quite an undertaking to compile these options.
As side hustles become more popular — and perhaps necessary — let’s take a look at some of the common options … and what you might consider doing instead.
Real estate investing is perhaps one of the oldest side hustles in existence.
Buy a house, rent it out, and build wealth. It’s a tried and true formula, and certainly a way to stop trading time for money.
This idea was popularized by books like Rich Dad Poor Dad, explaining (often with real estate as an example) how you can “escape the rat race” when income from assets you control exceeds your monthly expenses.
But real estate investing comes in many different “flavors” — and some take more time and money than others to get started with.
Selling JPEGs and other digital collectibles – do NFTs present some of the hottest investment opportunities right now?
You could hardly open your laptop or unlock your phone this year without reading about NFTs or non-fungible tokens.
When you start to see jpegs selling for tens of thousands of dollars, you can’t help but ask, wait, what’s going on here?
If you’re looking to add some time-leveraged cash flow to your bottom line, two of the best options are investing in rental real estate and buying small businesses.
Both are viable options, and to help you figure out if either or both of these investment options are right for you, it’s time for another Side Hustle Showdown.
