The math isnt mathing over the last 6 years. The small annual increase I've received year over year has actually resulted in less "extra" money once household bills are paid, groceries and gas. Please tell me how it makes sense. It doesn't... but with everything else costing us more, from groceries to gas to wifi and electricity... Something has to give.
I've consistently gone above and beyond over the last 6 years at my current job with nothing to show for it sadly.
I've decided I'm going to take all that extra "over the top" energy and invest it in myself and one of my side jobs.
I have two side jobs currently, but could easily pick up a third!!
What side jobs do you have to generate extra income? I really want to focus on saving so I can retire one day, after losing both my parents recently and seeing both of them miss that season of life as they both passed away way too early, I want to make sure I get to enjoy a few years!
You may be wondering what I do to generate extra income...
For starters, I'm a certified Disney Travel agent, which costs my clients absolutely nothing because Disney pays their agents. If you book your own trips, you are literally just paying Disney more while doing all the work yourself so let me help you! 💞💯🫶
I also earn money of various social platforms for content creation. Facebook is definitely the most generous, but I also have received payments from Amazon, Tiktok and Instagram.
So where should I put my focus?
Travel Agent or Content Creation? 🤔
or do I start baking cookies again? Some of you started following me because of my cookies! 💞
I just want to be able to start building my personal savings so I know I can sail away into the sunset one day....
I have roughly 150k in retirement savings, but we all know with medical bills that isn't going to last long!
Trying to come up with a 10 year plan, so I can retire when Alex is in his early 20s. 😍
