PILLAR TWO
SIDE HUSTLES & EXTRA INCOME
Spending less has a floor, earning more does not. But building extra income is work, not a trick. These pages cover realistic ways to build something alongside your job or benefits, and what to arrange before you start.
HOW WE APPROACH THIS
- No promises about amounts. What something earns depends on your skills, time and market.
- Start with what you can already do. That is almost always faster than learning something entirely new.
- Sort out the basics: agreements, invoices, tax and the effect on any allowances or benefits.
- Be careful with anything that asks for money up front or promises quick returns.
