Life is expensive. Whether you have kids or not, inflation this year alone has showed us all that we need to see. I mean just about everything we need prices have gone up. In the Midwest, we’re paying nearly $5 for a gallon of gas. Milk is close to $4. Every restaurant you go to seems to have went up on their prices. The list goes on!
These changes make you think, “how am I going to survive?” Many jobs barely pay enough to take care of all the bills. It’s like nowadays you MUST have a side hustle if you want to maintain your typical lifestyle.
Now, because it’s the year 2022, we know that there’s all kinds of opportunities that exists from finding a part time, Lyft, Uber, DoorDash, Instacart, and even playing cell phone games and taking surveys.
