Relying on one source of income is increasingly risky, says wealth expert Andrew Baxter
AUSTRALIA, December 20, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — As Australian households face mounting budget pressures, side hustles are becoming an increasingly smart play, according to a personal finance and investing expert.
Andrew Baxter, the CEO of Australian Investment Education and author of the soon to be released book The Wealth Playbook, says Aussies should strongly consider a secondary source of income in the new year.
“When sailing rough seas, relying solely on one revenue source to stay afloat is extremely precarious,” said Baxter.
“Launching a profitable side venture well-matched to your lifestyle acts as an economic life raft.
“Secondary hustles can provide part-time pay boosts or even develop into full-time salaries with minimal startup costs.
“The modern side hustle empowers everyday Australians to take financial control regardless of their age or level of expertise.”
*Options Abound*
Baxter says there’s a range of side-hustle options suited for all situations and interests.
“Whether you love animals, media, fitness or driving – monetisable models exist that will allow you to convert existing skills into cash flow.”
However, Baxter warns that passion alone won’t guarantee returns.
“While following your enthusiasm seems attractive, pragmatic analysis is required before diving in,” he said. “Crunch the numbers on how much time you’ll be putting in against the potential returns.”
“Tempting as it is to go full throttle on a side pursuit, preserving work-life balance remains crucial for sustainable success”.
*Side Hustle Springboards*
Baxter says once strategic foundations are laid, humble side ventures can rapidly snowball.
“Many global brands today like Apple and Samsung grew from garage-run operations into behemoths turning over billions.”
He highlights that modest income bumps today could steadily build, providing longer-term options.
“With prudent planning, a modest side hustle started now could allow escaping the 9-5 grind well before age 65.”
*How To Start in 2024*
While the economy presents challenges in 2024, Baxter views conditions as perfect for converting skills into side incomes.
“Conscientiously control risks, balance workloads and follow fail-proof steps for transferring existing skills into cash,” he said.
“Getting rubber on the road is often the biggest hurdle – even devoting a few hours a week can make an impact.”
