Growing up, all I ever wanted in my career was a safe, normal, stable 9-5 job in an office. To me, it was the epitome of success and something my mother worked so hard to land.
I never knew working from home could be sustainable nor was it #goals for me.

For years I was working numerous jobs and attending college. On the side, I was even working on my blog to build it into what it is today.

I still remember the day, the day that I checked our investment accounts and saw that we broke the $100,000 mark!!
It was a huge day for me! After all, when I had first set that goal, 5 years before, it was kind of a joke.. I didn’t think I’d actually be able to save that much.
I’m not going to lie, my husband laughed at me when I told him my plan. His doubt that I would actually be able to do it was definitely the driving factor! Who’s laughing now!!
Listen, if you have similar goals, find something that gives you MOTIVATION because you’re going to need lots of it…. Read more
After 5 brutal long years, I can say that I am finally graduating college in just a few *short* months.
To be completely honest, I had no plans to go to college after high school. I didn't think much of my life or myself and didn't think I'd amount to anything. The fact that I am graduating college making $10k per month on my blog is mind blowing.
It's really crazy how much you grow when you get out of that toxic mindset.
Anyway, before I run off on a tangent about how amazing life is and how we are all capable of anything, let's get back to student loans. Ah, the dreaded student loans.
I am graduating with $14,958.28 in loans, including that whole dollar of interest (pictured below).
The average student loan amount for a college graduate is $30,100, so $14,958 is pretty good. I was not the type of student to get a full ride to college and didn't like sports, so a sports scholarship wasn't in the works either. I took part in no extracuriculur activities and simply went as a regular full paying student.
My student loan covers going to a community college, a private university ($20,000 per year) and ending at my current school which is a public college for approximately 3 years. I've been in school since 2013 (I changed majors once).

A few months ago I started working as a Virtual Assistant for a popular personal finance blog.
Being a Virtual Assistant has several benefits, such as learning how a thriving business works, being able to work from home, and setting up your own hours and pay.
Not only that, you can choose between being a part-time or full-time Virtual Assistant, leaving you time for other things in your life if you aren't ready for the full commitment of a full-time job yet.
The demand for Virtual Assistants is rising for small and large businesses since many jobs are going online. Virtual Assistants are also more affordable since assistants in-person need an office space to rent out, which saves money for the person hiring a VA.
Did you know you can earn an extra $1,000-$2,000 per month by helping local businesses run Facebook ads?
I know, you're probably thinking, “I have no experience in marketing or running ads.”
No problem! You can take part in this side hustle if you have an extra 3 hours a week, a computer, and free tools like a Facebook account and email.
My friend Bobby from Millennial Money Man has been running Facebook ads for local businesses since 2015. In 2017, Bobby made over $200,000 from his blog and digital marketing business.
Starting a side hustle allowed me to start working from home full-time in 2016. I've been able to pay off loans, build a substantial savings fund, and enjoy my life doing the things I love.
I'm super excited to share with you all this awesome opportunity. I talk about side hustles often, but this one is up there on my favorites list. I'm even seriously considering adding this to my side hustle routine!
