    Favorite side hussle - Overtime! I know it is not available to everyone... but why not build experience in your field, maybe help get a better raise and potential promotion for working hard and helping out your employer, pay can add to your 401k, etc. And if you are a trained professional making descent pay, chances are your hourly rate may be better at your day job than a lot of other side hussles. Just my opinion. :)

    I did some dog sitting during the year and a half I worked from home. When I was laid off, I continued dog sitting and was able to support myself through that. Now that I’m working again, I still dog sit on the weekends or when it fits with my schedule. I’ve made pretty decent money doing so, and it works because I like dogs and can’t have my own right now.
    P.S. That intro was completely ridiculous 😂

    Reselling is the best side hustle ever, especially if you don't own a car, want to set your own schedule and work from home. I started selling my own stuff and only made $300/mo. the first few months. Fast forward a year, I now make 10 times that. I know successful full-time resellers who make over $10K/mo.

    One thing I have learned on the taxes is that you don't have to submit quarterly. If you feel that you can't save money that long you can submit to the IRS twice a month for your estimated taxes. I found this much easier to budget this way then trying to estimate how much I should be saving every 4 months.

      I have a better solution. I set the money aside in an online savings account that currently generates 4.5% APR. That way it grows in a place that isn’t easily accessible (it would take a couple days to transfer to my bank), and when tax season rolls around, I can pay my self employment taxes and get a refund from myself (which I’ll probably take about 25% of and roll the rest over into my investment accounts).

    Thanks George. Much appreciated.
    I have an unrelated question for you (and Mr. Ramsey) to consider. When saving for a house down payment, when you plan to buy the house within two years, I think it makes no sense to put the savings into mutual funds, because they are too risky in the short run. Better to go with a high-interest CD or savings account...
    ...but what about instead putting it into a REIT, backed by diversified _residential_ housing in _your_ _target_ _region?_ If housing prices rise, your deposit grows enough to match the growth in the deposit needed. If housing prices fall, you lose some money on your deposit, but your target just got smaller by the same percent.
    I could see this making a lot of sense if you had a five-year horizon say, and were worried about the S&P500 movements not lining up with the movements in the housing market, but what about a two-year horizon?
    Fell free to tell me this is nuts and why.
    Oh, and my dog does know my name, and the name of my wife, and of each of the children, and of the cat, and of the two pet rabbits, and of the neighbors either side, and of her half-dozen best dog buddies.

      You can’t deduct both car expenses and mileage at the same time. IRS standard deduction rate for mileage is estimated as the average cost to use your car for work purposes. You can either deduct the standard mileage rate ($0.655 cents per mile in 2023) or you can itemize and deduct all of your car expenses. Consult a tax pro for more info.

At your age the more you can invest into funds that are likely to keep growing over the next 20 years. 10,000 at 13 can make you a millionaire by 30 with the right investment choices
