Oslo Money Diary – 2 Nights In The Expensive City!
Oslo is somewhere that has been on my radar for the past couple of years. But there was always somewhere else I wanted to go to more! Until I was planning a meet up with some of my uni friends and it worked out cheaper to meet up abroad than in the UK. Crazy right!! Cue days of back and forth. The logistics of flying from three different places in the UK was a nightmare. Oslo came out the reigning champion and our flights were booked. Two nights in one of the most expensive countries in the world – my budget was already crying! But how much did we actually…

How I Made £1989 In Extra Income in April
Start of a new month means only one thing here, it’s time to add up every penny from the wide array of the random side hustles I do each money to bring in some extra income.

10k Side Hustle Challenge – Month 2 Update
At the start of 2024 I had a goal setting session and decided to challenge myself to make an extra £10k from side hustles. Currently, I have two seasonal jobs that mean I only work in person half of the year and have full flexibility over the other half of the year.

But before we get into a month 2 update let me explain the rules I’ve set for myself… The Rules This year I will have…

Now I won’t go so far as to say I’d do anything for money but my limit is quiet high. One of my friends recently told me that when her mum was asking what I was up to now, she replied with “erm I’m not actually 100% sure, but if it makes money, Jess is doing it”. Pretty accurate. I have jumped on some very random money making opportunities that have come my way over the past couple of years. And today I’m sharing my top five with you! Now, most of my side hustle experiences have been typical – the boring surveys, getting a second (& third) job, starting…

20 Income Streams I Had In 2023 – Full Earnings Breakdown
2023 was my first full year out of education since I was 3 and it’s definitely been an unconventional year. I brought the new year in in a car park in Seattle watching the space needle fireworks and ended the year in the pub I worked at whilst at uni. An ending I never saw coming but soon became one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! I spent the majority of the year travelling full-time and living off a pot of savings. I was still dabbling in a variety of side hustles and ended the year with money coming in from 20 different avenues. Crazy. Plus the total took…
