Jack Raines (We/Them/Boys). You Writing Young Money: the best finance blog you've never heard of. Edit... 1d A high salary is no longer enough if you want to get wealthy; you need side hustles and diversified income streams. Let me tell you how I made $100,000 from a side hustle last February. On February 12th, New York City's mayor Eric Adams announced an incentive to boost Covid vaccination rates in the city: $100 for anyone who gets vaccinated by the end of the month. Thanks to the US using paper vaccine cards, there was no database tracking who was and wasn't vaccinated. I smelled an opportunity. For the next 16 days, I got 63 Covid shots every single day. This was a total of 1,000 Covid shots in 16 days, which really wasn't that hard given NYC's 2,600 pharmacies. In March, thanks to my hard work, I received $100,000 from Eric Adam's office. My friends asked if I had any negative side effects. To their surprise, I felt fine. I actually felt healthier than normal. Plus, while most people will need an annual Covid booster, I won't need a booster shot for the next 1,000 years. Vaccines compound, baby. Look it up. $100,000 for 16 days of work is incredible ROI, and I helped keep my community safe in the process. Opportunities like these are rare, but you have to capitalize on them if you want to successfully build wealth.

Jack Raines @Jack_Raines - 20h Earlier this summer, I started selling furniture from Airbnbs on the Facebook Marketplace. So far, I've made approximately $42,000 from my new side hustle. Anyone else tried this? As many of you know, I enjoy traveling. But traveling, especially traveling extensively, has one problem: it costs money. And unless you had a fully- remote job, it was always difficult to sustain long-term travel... until now. A few months ago, I rented an Airbnb in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, with several of my friends from college for Memorial Day weekend. While we had a blast on our trip, my credit card statement on Sunday morning gave me an existential panic. I had spent $5,400 in 72 hours. (bottle service at Miami's Club Space isn't cheap!) As I stared at my credit card, pondering how I would possibly pay off this month's balance, a novel idea began taking shape in my mind. I glanced around our Airbnb and realized that I was surrounded by furniture. Furniture that someone might pay a lot of money for. I snapped a picture of the dining room table, uploaded it to Facebook marketplace, and wrote "dining room table + 6 chairs available for $600! Must pick up today." Within an hour, the table was gone, and I was $600 richer. I quickly repeated this process with the outdoor pool furniture, grill, beds, couches, and televisions in the Airbnb. By the time I Ubered to the airport for my flight home, I had $6,500 in my wallet. My trip, where I spent $5,400, actually returned a positive ROI! I have since repeated this process in San Diego, Washington DC, and Denver, making between $5,000 and $8,000 per trip, depending on the size of the house and the quality of the furniture. And before anyone says, "This is theft! You should go to prison!" I would like to highlight that Airbnb has host insurance, so the hosts actually benefit by getting *new* furniture. It's a win-win for everyone, except maybe Airbnb corporate. 283 t643 7,373 ılı 2.1M : ↑
