Signs It's Time to Make a Side Hustle Your Main Job

Worth pointing out those 2 numbers aren’t the same (if they were both $5, 000) though, since business owners need health insurance and all that jazz

if you can make as much in the side business as your regular job, you might as well do both. After a year and Twice as much as regular job, quit the regular.

I think it's always time to do I side hustle/business!

Depends on the job and the amount saved to fall back on. In my line of work as a producer/editor, there's so many people in a drought at the moment as more people enter the job market.

It's not unusual to hear people go from nothing to a 3, 6 or 12 month contract for a project and then when it ends they're back where they started because the project finished, funding discontinued and it could be a long time or never before you're thought of by someone crewing up the next tight budget project.

Some work is always going to be insecure and will require having a backup. Delivery driving is a popular option.

This is a good rule, so far the most I've made in a month on my side business is 36% of my salary job which I was surprised I was able to make that much. If I can get to 100% or more consistently, I'll be a beast!!
