    £500 Side Hustle Challenge: Full Earnings Breakdown

    April 8, 2025 /

    I love a challenge! Especially one relating to side hustles! Over the past couple of years I’ve completed two big side hustle challenges. And 39 days ago I started another one, this time I embarked on a £500 Side Hustle Challenge to fund a trip to see 5 countries in 1 week!

    February 3, 2024 /

    Setting yearly goals has been something I’ve done consistently for the past 4 years and 2024 is no different! I’ve set around 30 goals that I want to achieve over the next year but they can be narrowed down to these 9 main goals… READ 100 BOOKS I set the same goal last year and ended the year on 159 books finished.
