It's easy to make $30K-$50K just doing side hustle.

I could mow lawns and rake in $200 per day during spring and summer. $1000 per week or equivalent of $50K per year

I could also probably pull $1000 per week painting houses, though that is boring repetitive work and gets boring doing it for more than a season.

HVAC work pays well. An HVAC tech with some good marketing could run his own truck and service and rake in $1500-$2000 per week.

The pool cleaners? LOL they sometimes pull in $500+ per day just pouring chemicals, vaccuming leaves out of pools, adjusting pool heaters

This woman works at a bank she tells me that hispanic house cleaners show up with thousands of dollars cash.

One tree trimming crew of about 3-4 guys can rake in $250K revenue in a year.

The accounting and finance gigs used to be better paying. Now the offices are full of women and the salaries stagnate out in the $60k-$75K and from there to get to $80K+ you have to work long hours and deal with shit that makes your hair gray.

Also i cannot work in an office because the mask policies and vaccine mandates would sabotage my employment and get me fired.
