A9: Great option if you enjoy your work, but not your work environment. A change of scenery may provide a better fit, and potentially better pay. Also, don't discount your ability to learn new, in-demand skills! Sometimes small investments can pay off big! #GoingFromBroke

A9: That's what I love about side hustles - they're a way to test the waters. Besides the financial aspect, you can also see if this is enriching your life. #GoingFromBroke

This can be difficult or easy, depends how sick and tired you are. Weigh the pros and cons, make sure it aligns with your goals and values. If you’re married, make sure both you and your spouse are on board with the switch. #GoingFromBroke @Crackle_TV @MyFabFinance

A8: This is highly personal, so I suggest taking time to define your number - whether it's monthly/annual income or an amount saved where you feel comfortable enough to make the leap. #GoingFromBroke
A8: When to go all-in w/ your side hustle? I'm probably more risk-averse than most, but I like to see 6-12 months of profit history from my side hustle that at least covers my monthly expenses, plus a 6-month emergency fund. #GoingFromBroke
