6 tips for starting and keeping a flipping side hustle on facebook marketplace
For anyone with free time, interest in a new hobby, or a gap in their income, flipping is a great side hustle to consider. There is no limitation on what you can make and no advanced skills are needed — you only need some time, and a Facebook account.

How an expense audit can increase your savings rate
Did you know that the higher your savings rate is, the less time you have to work? Assuming you’re investing the money you don’t spend, of course.
Mr. Money Mustache who popularized the FI/RE movement broke down the math behind this concept of saving more to work less in his article, The Shockingly Simple Math Behind Early Retirement.
