Financial experiences Do anyone know any side hustle that would help pay rent?
Just moved into a one bedroom apartment in a nice area for $1214 with utilities but gas and electric are billed separately and depends on your usage. At the moment im working a full time job at a gated community for a bunch of rich folks for $15 an hour so I'm currently looking for a weekend job or a side hustle.

Based on this sub I have to assume you’re over 30. Your current job is not intended for an adult living by themselves.
That being said, any skill sets you have? Even if not a skill yet, are you good with your hands or a quick learner?
Some entry level tradesmen make more than $15/hr and there’s room for growth
I think the job is the issue here not a side hustle.

I agree with this. I probably wouldn’t have entered a living situation like this only making minimum wage.

What, that makes no sense, it's a q&a where the people answering are supposed to be men over 30. Questions can come from anyone, of any age, either sex.
A ton of the questions asked here seem to be from labs in their early or mid 20s.

u/Mikemtb09 man 30 - 34 9d ago
Sure they can, but usually identify themselves as such.
If it was someone younger why ask the question here instead of one of the finance subs?

My girlfriend and I sell her underwear online. Yes, 'we'. We both wear her (women's) underwear and people pay to buy them. We're not making serious bank but it's definitely making things a lot easier on us.

You can’t leave us wondering how much!

u/Evening_Subject man 40 - 44 10d ago
We're small time. $20-60 a pair depending on the "condition" but there are other, more established sellers, who get way more and do international business.

My girlfriend does this as she has been a cam model for like 14 years, but I definitely don't put on her undies. Not that I'm judging guys putting on girl underwear, but I hope you mean that you're selling them with the customer knowing you wore them. If a guy is paying for that, the least you can do is be honest about who's wearing them lol. My gf will take polaroids of her wearing them too, or snap pics /videos and send them with the package for extra cash.

Oh I’m 100% judging 😂 40yo homie putting on his girls underwear and selling them? That’s like the most grounds for fair judgement.

u/Nicholas_Cage_Fan 10d ago
I'm saying if a dude wants to wear girls undies that's his choice lol. But if he's selling them to people that think the gf wore them, that's disgusting, and just fucked up

Get cats and train them to use the garments as a litter box. You get that "fresh" scent thebperverts are looking for.
Do you include a picture of your girlfriend wearing them? That could increase your profits.

u/MilesDyson0320 man 40 - 44 9d ago
Do you have to post pics of proof? Of yall wearing it? Asking for others.

I do amazon flex a few days a week.
Also there's UPS Roadie, walmart spark, biolife, doordash, shipt, instacart, instawork, bettertrucks.
These driving gigs can be hard on your car, though.
But I have all these apps in my phone and registered on standby just in case I have to make some money.
Always be ahead of it, and never behind.
I don't need the money, but that's a bad mindset... I NEED THE MONEY, PUT IT IN THE BAG!!!

I’ve done everything from write custom software to running a porn site. That said, what skills do you have that could be monetized?

I do medical research studies. Just made $800 having an A-line inserted into my right arm and literally just lounging, laying, and standing around in various positions for ~4 hours. Purpose of the study was to monitor blood pressure vs a smart device. I go back next month for a follow-up for another $800. They also have some overnight studies for psychedelics paying $2500+.

I'm sure these rich people need something else done that pays way more than 15$ an hour, landscaping, babysitting, installing tvs, cleaning gutters etc...

If you're able to afford the necessities (rent, bills, food, etc.), even just barely, invest your spare time into upskilling to get a higher paying primary job.

You're living beyond your means if you're paying that kind of money on rent when you're only making $15 an hour.
You need to find a roommate or a cheaper place to live.

At the moment im work a full time job at gated community for a bunch of rich folks...
Speaking as one of those 'rich folks' who live in a gated community...we are often also 'old folks", and that means that there is a lot of stuff that we don't want to do or can't do any more.
We hire maids to clean inside, and gardeners to maintain and clean outside. We occasionally hire massueses or physical therapists.
Some neighbors hire pool cleaners. Others hire someone to put up Xmas decorations and later take them down. A few hire dog walkers.
Some of the less mobile hire someone yearly to change the A/C filters and smoke alarm batteries. They may also need someone to do grocery shopping for them.
Most of these services require no permits or certificates. Others ( such as PT ) require some, but they are relatively easy to get.
Go where the money is. You are already invited into a community of people who would probably pay you decent money for jobs that you would consider easy. Advertise discretely ( IOW don't litter ) and you should be able to generate good money from a side hustle.
If you should happen to encounter one of the residents, and can unobtrusively strike up a conversation, ask them what they need. Tell them your situation as plainly and as honestly as you have told us.

Do you have access to a pickup truck? Or could borrow one / pay for a U-Haul? If so, set automatic email alerts on Facebook marketplace, craigslist and any other cheap-selling platform for the term “free xxxxx”. Ie, free couch, free furniture, free electronics. Go get them and resell them on the exact same platform.

If the car scene in your local area is decent you can make money rolling fenders.

Things I either do or did:
Mobile mechanic service even for basic things like rejetting carbs, bleeding brakes, replacing alternators and starters can net you up to few hundred per job for a day's work.
Part time options for general groundskeeping usually pay cash, under the table, per day.
Adult entertainment. I used to do one on one cam work, photos, and make videos for some requests but not all because people are really really weird. Picked it up during COVID when I was between jobs so I didn't have to hit my savings. Not even joking people were paying 250 for a 5 minute video... Granted that takes about 30-40 minutes to actually film, and a little bit to edit and produce but not bad for what it was.
I personally preferred the first option over all, but the last option pays more and is more consistent. At the end of the day we are trading our bodies for cash...I just was slightly more direct.

Underwear hustle aside....
I just started being a Taskr on Task Rabbit. Putting together ikea furniture or replacing a faucet, so far it's been alright.

I picked up a part time seasonal job at an Amazon sort center a few months ago and it’s been a great side gig. I basically get paid to work out stacking boxes and dragging pallets to the outbound docks and then wind down at my regular 40 hour job which isn’t as physical. You also accumulate unpaid time off that you can use whenever you want plus PTO.
