I didn’t always pay attention to the small stuff. Like, not really. Sure, I knew that maxing out a credit card or buying a new car I couldn’t afford was probably a bad idea. But the daily, seemingly harmless spending decisions? The $6 latte, the streaming subscriptions, the impulsive $40 “treat yourself” Amazon orders—I brushed those off.
Los Angeles is a weird place to make adult decisions. On one hand, I love my overpriced oat milk lattes and living five minutes from a yoga studio that doubles as a wine bar. On the other hand, I sometimes wonder if I’ve hit the ceiling on how much rent one human can emotionally justify for a one-bedroom that still shares a wall with a guy who DJs at home. So when the “should I buy or keep renting?” question kept showing up in my head like a push notification, I decided to stop swiping it away.
Starting a side hustle is more than just earning a few extra bucks—it's about turning something you love into something that brings in steady income. Imagine having that financial freedom to do what you enjoy and make money from it.
