The Rise of the Side Hustle

Does anyone here have a side hustle? If so, what is it and why did you decide to do it? (I have a lot of questions, but this goes hand in hand with Retirement Is A Pipe Dream). I could ramble here about living in one of the country's more expensive areas, etc., etc., but lately, I have been thinking of ways to "retire" even if it means taking a job at Home Depot or something.

I've looked into a few things over the years. Here's a link with some suggestions. I'm not advocating the site, just the ideas.

I'd even consider something like secret shopper. Met a guy who works out of the coffee shop across the street. He gave up law to sell books. He travels all over searching for rare books to resell. That travel is tax deductible if I understand correctly.

Good luck
