Data on multi-job holders is worthless here. What we need is data showing multi-job hustlers.**
You aren’t paying attention to the state of the world around us right now.
Learn a trade, like Diesel Mechanic, go to work for heavy equipment company, work on tractors and other equipment on the side for the hustle. Become HVAC tech, go to work for a HVAC company, do side hustle for other church members and friends. Become a plumber. Go to work for Roto Rooter. Do side jobs for the hustle. There are a lot of people who did not go back to work after Covid. They get Medicaid and other government handouts. They have a trade and do that trade on the side for cash. I know several people who is doing it. So many BA's, master's degrees and PHD's out there, they are a dime a dozen. Learn a trade you will always be able to make money on the hustle.
I know a lawyer who shut down his practice. He and his wife legally separated. Still married and will not divorce. They both get Medicaid. He draws up wills, buy sell agreements for cash. He has a good trade. A lot of money to be made for cash on that side hustle.
My son wanted his rims on his car painted. I carried it to get them painted. The guy who owned the company said if I paid cash no tax. If I wrote check or used card, he would charge me tax. I wonder why?**** Cash is king.

Who would say no to passive income?
Yeah.... This thread cites the dumbest 17ing stat I have ever seen. The original online dipshìt poll of 2,000 dipshìts asked if you did something to make a little extra money in the last 12 months. Every ásshole that bought Bitcoin or sold something on Craigslist said yes.... I employ 24 people that struggle like hell for the most part to make ends meet.... 2 have "side hustles." One works the front desk at a hotel a few days a week and I think the other guy sells weed, maybe pills too, but definitely weed. If my employees are at less than 10% ain't no mother17ing way the average is 50%+Here's some trended stats to ponder on if you want
