5 Side Hustles I Used to Build Wealth
That’s right, you boss babes. Today we’re talking about side hustles. Now to be clear, I’m not big on hustle culture—but I do love a good side hustle. I mean, who doesn’t love extra money? In this video, I’m gonna share the side hustles I personally did that helped me raise my income so I could get out of debt and start building wealth faster.

My friend brings in $500K per year mowing lawns. Yep. Lawns. He started with just himself and grew it to 4 crews. He also plowed snow in winter.

Favorite side hussle - Overtime! I know it is not available to everyone... but why not build experience in your field, maybe help get a better raise and potential promotion for working hard and helping out your employer, pay can add to your 401k, etc. And if you are a trained professional making descent pay, chances are your hourly rate may be better at your day job than a lot of other side hussles. Just my opinion. :)

Great job. Love it. This got me thinking I need to find some side hustles.

I fell in love with your dry humor I had to subscribe🤣

Top tier video as always! 🎉 I'd love to hear more about your music licensing and performing. That's a beautiful tele on your wall.

When you mentioned the horse, I was like, why?? You'll just sell it!! 😂😂 I'm telling you, my jaw was unhinged when you told that girl a while nack to sell her horse! Glad she forgave you at the meet & greet!❤ Lots of love to you George!

My favorite side hustle is dog sitting! I love dogs, and it’s fun to me. I’m super glad I do this

[Matt_in_TEXAS]

Great job George Kamel with a K!!! You and your team are knocking out these videos- I love them and share them with folks on their debt free journey. Keep on Truck'n!

😂 Love your videos! You’re so entertaining and informative! ☺️ Your cut scenes crack me up. Lol.

I did some dog sitting during the year and a half I worked from home. When I was laid off, I continued dog sitting and was able to support myself through that. Now that I’m working again, I still dog sit on the weekends or when it fits with my schedule. I’ve made pretty decent money doing so, and it works because I like dogs and can’t have my own right now.

P.S. That intro was completely ridiculous 😂

[savanah]

Yep I have nothing better to do outside of my 9-5 and a few extra curricular’s so I am also going to put on my big girl britches! 😂 Trying to figure out where I would make the most ROI. The other video I saw recently has interesting ideas like the guy who pressure washes trash cans. You did approach this differently, appreciate it!

eBay all day. Average 85-120k in sales a year as a side job. This was the first year I decided to take out my debt with it, paid off my car and finishing off my wife’s student loans before end of year, Then the 6 month emergency fund.

Thanks for the practical and thought-out information. You guys are awesome 😄

[Magazinelady]

This was a clever video, George. I knew the horse story.

[Dami_creates]

Hilarious and educative!. Thanks George.

My side hustle is being present for my kids. Any spare time I have left after work, time with family, chores around the home, and volunteering, is spent relaxing. If I feel like working, I do my day job so when it comes time to ask for more money, I don't have to do much convincing.

[mathematician]

Thanks George. Much appreciated.

I have an unrelated question for you (and Mr. Ramsey) to consider. When saving for a house down payment, when you plan to buy the house within two years, I think it makes no sense to put the savings into mutual funds, because they are too risky in the short run. Better to go with a high-interest CD or savings account...

...but what about instead putting it into a REIT, backed by diversified _residential_ housing in _your_ _target_ _region?_ If housing prices rise, your deposit grows enough to match the growth in the deposit needed. If housing prices fall, you lose some money on your deposit, but your target just got smaller by the same percent.

I could see this making a lot of sense if you had a five-year horizon say, and were worried about the S&P500 movements not lining up with the movements in the housing market, but what about a two-year horizon?

Fell free to tell me this is nuts and why.

Oh, and my dog does know my name, and the name of my wife, and of each of the children, and of the cat, and of the two pet rabbits, and of the neighbors either side, and of her half-dozen best dog buddies.

Very informative and so entertaining too! Truck yeah!! Question.... I think I would also be good at creating Squarespace websites. How do you find people who would pay you to do this?
