Jill on Money Radio Show: Should I Ditch My Whole Life Policy?

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Happy middle of April! Before you know it we’ll be celebrating Memorial Day :)

This week we have a couple calls in hour one as well as a handful of emails.

The first call is a conversation about company stock and just how much is too much to be keeping in your portfolio.

The second call is about a whole life policy and whether or not the caller, a single guy in his 30s, should keep or ditch it.

In hour two, no time like the present to start thinking about that side hustle you've always dreamed about. If a global pandemic doesn't get you motivated, I'm not sure what will.

Do you have to be an “entrepreneur,” replete with a big, fat business plan in hand, to make a little extra cash on the side?

What if I told you that in 27 days you can come up with an idea, implement it, and potentially start making some extra income on the side?

That is what you call a side hustle, which also happens to be the title of a book from Chris Guillebeau, who's nice enough to join us this weekend.

While the thought of quitting your day job to pursue a business of your own may be intoxicating and even escapist, it may also be a bit unrealistic. Most of us can’t just up and quit a job that delivers a regular paycheck and benefits, to boot.

But what if you could quickly and easily create an additional stream of income without giving up the security of a full-time job? Enter Chris and the side hustle.

Side Hustle School with Chris Guillebeau

No time like the present to start thinking about that side hustle you've always dreamed about. If a global pandemic doesn't get you motivated, I'm not sure what will.

Should I Use My Roth 401(k)?

If your workplace retirement plan offers a Roth 401(k) option, should you be using it instead of the standard pre-tax option? That’s what Steve from Massachusetts was wondering, and that’s how we kick off the latest show.

Staying on the east coast, next up was Brendan from the D.C. area who just paid off his mortgage. With an extra $2800 in cashflow each month, what should he be doing with it?

CBS This Morning: Rise in Side Hustles

Even with unemployment at a 50-year low, 43% of full-time employees say they have a job outside of their primary work, according to a Bank Rate survey in June. Taking on an extra job for money or experience is often called having a “side hustle.” I joined CBS This Morning to discuss why so many Americans have second jobs.

#354 - Side Hustle with Chris Guillebeau

This is our last "real" show of the year as the next couple weeks we'll be re-airing some of our favorite interviews of 2017. But before we do that, it's time to talk to you guys, the listeners, as you dial in with your personal finance questions.

This is our last "real" show of the year as the next couple weeks we'll be re-airing some of our favorite interviews of 2017.  But before we do that, it's time to talk to you guys, the listeners, as you dial in with your personal finance questions.  First up this week is Ashley from Florida who feels she is over-diversified.  Is there such a thing? Next was David in Virginia with some questions about his retirement allocation.  The final call of the hour was from Scott in D.C. who's weighing the pros and cons of using a robo-advisor.

Do you have to be an “entrepreneur,” replete with a big, fat business plan in hand, to make a little extra cash on the side?

What if I told you that in 27 days you can come up with an idea, implement it, and potentially start making some extra income on the side?

That is what you call a Side Hustle, which also happens to be the title of the latest book from Chris Guillebeau, this week’s guest on the show.

While the thought of quitting your day job to pursue a business of your own may be intoxicating and even escapist, it may also be a bit unrealistic. Most of us can’t just up and quit a job that delivers a regular paycheck and benefits, to boot.

But what if you could quickly and easily create an additional stream of income without giving up the security of a full-time job? Enter Chris and the Side Hustle.

As someone who has launched more than a dozen side hustles over his career, Chris is more than qualified to help you select, launch and refine your new side hustle.

Some of the things you’ll learn include:

• Brainstorm, borrow, and steal to build an arsenal of great side hustle ideas (day 3)
• Apply “Tinder for Side Hustle” logic to pick the best idea at any time (day 6)
• Learn, gather, or create everything you need to launch; then set up a real life way to get paid (days 13-14)
• Start raking in the money by channeling your inner Girl Scout (day 18)
• Master the art of deals, discounts, and special offers (day 21)
• Raise your game: improve, expand, or make more money off your hustle (days 24-26)

I think the most important takeaway from this interview is realizing that you don’t need entrepreneurial experience to launch a profitable side hustle. Nor do you need to spend/waste money on an MBA or other graduate degree, or know how to code, or be an expert marketer.

If you liked what you heard from Chris, and want some more tips and inspiring real-life success stories, I highly recommend his Side Hustle School podcast.
