Over the past year, everyone has felt the pinch that has come from rising costs: fuel, interest rates, rent, power, lettuce leaves. You name it! It has gotten more expensive. Couple that with the overwhelming desire to do more, be more, connect more (one of the many ‘by-products’ of covid lockdowns), the question is how?
How do you find the money (and time) to balance all these needs…. wants…. desires?
Coming into 2023, this is where I am at – I want to have the time and money to do all that my heart desires, give to my family without compromise and live a fulfilling life #theaustraliandream
All roads lead to financial freedom —-but how do we get there?
I know I am not the only person who wants this and I am certain I am not the only person writing or talking about it. There is so much information out there. SO MUCH. It is hard to know where to start or what is in fact reliable or internet hype.
I’m not going to lie, I have fallen down the rabbit hole of tiktok videos and facebook reels on saving secrets and ‘easy-side-hustles part 412084’ only to look up from the screen 3 hours later, having taken no action but feeling moderately motivated to do something only to be distracted by my child, or the last netflix release — which let’s face it, is an easy escape from trying to solve the massive question of “how”.
My name is MJ and I’m a Brisbane based mum, taking steps to save and test these so call ‘easy side hustles’. I am going to keep it real, step by step and transparently share the time, cost and income… or outcome of this journey! Making me accountable to me but also (just maybe) helping others on their journey.
