Including Side Hustles on Your Resume: The Ultimate Guide

January 23, 2020 By Amanda from My Life I Guess Leave a Comment

It seems like everyone has side hustles these days. Whether it’s to make extra money, pursue an interest or passion, or to learn a new skill, it’s work that we choose to do on the “side” of our day jobs. Yet few people think to include their side hustles on their resume.

Working on your own doesn’t make it any less relevant than your other work experience because side hustles are still work! Sometimes a lot of work (and time and energy).

Like any traditional job, they teach you valuable, transferable skills that employers are looking for – skills like time management, multi-tasking, and showing initiative. They also help to further develop your talents by putting them to use in tangible ways.

Not including these skills, talents, and experiences on your resume could be a mistake that could cost you that new job you’re hoping to get.

Alternatives to the Stock Market: Where Else to Invest Your Money

January 16, 2020 By Todd Kunsman from Invested Wallet 4 Comments

As you start to save and increase your income, one of the most important steps you can take is investing your money. Many people struggle to know what to invest in besides the stock market and what alternatives exist. Granted, the choices are vast and can be quite confusing.

However, if you want to ensure a healthy financial future, ensure your family’s finances are secure and live comfortably in your golden years — investing is an absolute must!

And although there is always some risk with any investing you potentially do, you are risking more by letting your money just sit idly by.

I say this because, you could be missing 20-30+ years of compound interest, which can add up to thousands — if not six-figures of missed investment income.

But last year, I was proven wrong.
