“Money is a feminist issue”
Bullstalin.
Feminism as established by NOW is a Marxist issue and Marxism isn’t about money for the people. It’s about Socialism and smashing the established order.
Sidehustle == unreported income (often cash or giftcards).
Saw the word “hustle” and just assumed they were looking for Sugar Daddies. Oh, well.....
“whether you need the extra money ...to put towards your ...vacation fund.”
Sandra Fluke cried about being unable to afford her birfer control meds and then used the saved cash to go on vacation (to the Mediterranean if I recall) with her boyfriend.
Really? My friends and I often talk about money: half-price day at The Salvation Army, the ghastly cost of medical care for our kids with Issues, whether you're cheap enough to hire my son to mow your lawn ...
Maybe it's different because we're in our 50s and 60s.
“...even though 28 percent reported feeling stressed out about money every single day.”
Duh!!!! No kidding that people at the age of 22 feel stressed out about money. That stress is designed to motivate you to earn more money.
Get to work, snowflakes....
There are several very interesting small businesses mentioned, including a young lady who is raising and selling purebred rabbits and another organizing resale-boutique parties. I think it’s very nice when people have good ideas and are working at them.
So cute that they think this is new. I always have a side hustle going on. It’s just not as intense as my early 20’s. I financed vacations by babysitting and dog sitting and that was years ago. I’ve done stints as a transcriptor, tutor, tried my hand at blogging and handle plants for several neighbors when they are out of town. I have friends that tended bar, worked as valets, doormen, coatchecks, catering servers etc. It was never enough to support yourself, but the few hundred or so a month got people nicer stuff and minimized debt. It’s called commerce.
They are not reluctant to talk about it, they never shut up.
