In today’s unpredictable economy, many individuals are seeking ways to bolster their income and shield themselves from potential financial downturns. Jen Glantz is among those exploring practical side hustles that can provide a safety net in case of a sudden income drop.
One option on her radar is investing in a vending machine. This venture offers the potential for passive income, as it requires minimal ongoing effort once the machine is stocked and placed in a high-traffic area.
Additionally, Glantz is considering starting a pet-care business. With the growing number of pet owners, services such as dog walking, pet sitting, or grooming can be both fulfilling and lucrative. This option not only allows her to earn extra cash but also provides the joy of working with animals.
Lastly, she is looking into tutoring as a way to utilize her skills and knowledge. Offering educational support to students can be rewarding, and with the rise of online learning, this side hustle can easily be managed from home. Each of these ventures presents a unique opportunity to create a more stable financial future.
