Here are the books that I read in the last year and my recommendations.   Nonfiction … [Read more...] about 10 Books That Changed Me..and Those That Didn’t

I was reading the comments in Millennial Money Man's post, From Teacher to $12,000 A Month, and saw a comment from someone who was considering becoming a teacher. The "I think I want to become a teacher" moment is something I've experienced as well. I think it's relatively common. I remember talking with a coworker once who was considering leaving his six-figure job to pursue teaching.

One of my goals for this year is to step up my side-hustle game. Since we've already paid off our debt, my only goal for this extra income is to increase our savings. It's working! If my side-hustle income continues at the current rate, I'll have an extra $6,000 by year-end.   Blogging Income +$793 I started off the year with a blogging bang. My traffic is up to nearly 60,000 page views per … [Read more...] about January Side Income Report – $793
