4 years ago, I started a fitness blog. FITnancials started out as a hobby blog and it was never meant to become anything serious. I was doing it for fun to keep track of my fitness journey. I ended up losing over 50 pounds and eventually became a certified personal trainer.
Not until a year ago did I attempt to take the blog seriously. I started putting in 15-30 hours of work a week into it while going to school full-time. I also was nannying full-time on the side, pushing 40+ hours a week. On top of that, I was working part-time as a dog walker.
I hustled. I was basically working 3 jobs and going to school. A little less than a year later, I started making a steady $5,000 a month from my blog.
It’s been a crazy journey that I’m grateful for every single day…. Read more
Today’s post is from a new friend, Carrie, who has a blog catered to moms who want to simplify their lives. She can be found online at Carrie Willard and Lippy Chic.
Nowadays, it seems everyone has a little side gig. It makes sense. Employment is no longer the rock-solid safety net it was for our parents. In addition, the cost of things such as education, child care, health care and other necessities is rising.
Many families simply can’t pay the bills without two incomes. Sometimes even parents who work full-time start a small business to create an additional stream of money coming in.
As a mom of 7 (yes, 7 – and I birthed them all), I’ve always worked from home. In addition, we’re a homeschooling family, which is difficult to pull off without a parent at home full-time. … Read more
Today, I have an interview with Caitlin, a freelance proofreader who has successfully turned her side hustle into a full-time business. Her first year of being a freelance proofreader, she made over $43,000 working 30 hours a week. That’s insane!
This is such a great opportunity for someone who wants to ditch their 9-5 and start working from home.

You all loved my August income report, which is why I’ve decided to do a September income report. I’m not sure if I’m going to continue doing these, but for now, I’m enjoying sharing everything with you all. These income reports keep me accountable but also pressure me into thinking that I better increase my numbers next month or else I look like a failure. Haha.
September was a rough month for me, personally, and when I’m super stressed out or feeling down, I refrain from doing any kind of work. We’re having issues with our dogs, we’ve decided to move back to Colorado, and my college classes have been getting pretty damn hard. Regardless, I am working hard on being positive. There is a lot to be happy about and I’ve got to remember that.

In August, I made a huge purchase and bought a Trek bike. I’m not the type of person who is comfortable spending more than $50 on anything, so spending almost $700 was a pretty big deal for me.
However, it was TOTALLY worth it. Even though I had mild anxiety from the purchase. #crazybudgeter… Read more
