Are side hustles worth it? Good source of extra cash or wasted time that could have been spent on career development to increase your income?

I wouldn’t suggest doing a side hustle for the money unless you desperately need it...you’re in consulting after all.

Do a side hustle because you’re interested in something and want to pursue it further

Index funds and rental properties. Use the rest of the time to focus on personal development.

Choose a side hustle that's fulfilling, excel at it, adapt and adjust, keep it going, it's your baby, help it grow. Get it go the point you make nearly just as much $ as your full time job, or comparable hourly rate. Then pivot.

Agree stocks and rentals. Rentals have been my investment far and away. Honestly just want to have 50 and quit everything else :).

For those who said rentals, How do you thing the rental market will be doing in the next year?

People always need a place to live. Always. Home ownership isn’t even more expensive.

I have higher end rentals. Tenants are in IT, business owner, doctors. Not foreseeing any issues with payment.

Do anything you like. Don't ask permission.

Worth it, don't rely all on your employer. The world is slowly shifting towards a gig economy and you may need multiple sources of income

Why side hustle when you can have a sweet life with just 1 job

Define rich

I agree with everyone here - part time landlord and a nice cloud / tech stock portfolio should help you make some nice and dependable side money. Anything else would have to be more of a hobby / interesting first.
