WEBVTT - Start a summer side hustle

0:00:01.680 --> 0:00:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to How Today Afford That, the podcast that peaks

0:00:04.320 --> 0:00:07.560
<v Speaker 1>into the financial lives of everyday Australians. I'm Michael Thompson.

0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:09.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm a writer and the co host of the podcast

0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Fear and Greed business news. As always, I'm with Canna Campbell,

0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:16.320
<v Speaker 1>financial planner and founder of Sugar Mummer TV, the financial

0:00:16.320 --> 0:00:22.360
<v Speaker 1>literacy platform covering YouTube, podcasts, books, Instagram threads, TikTok, keynote,

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:25.880
<v Speaker 1>speeches and more. Hello, Canna, good morning.

0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:26.440
<v Speaker 2>How are you.

0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm well, I'm excited. I'm actually genuinely I'm always excited,

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:35.279
<v Speaker 1>but I'm genuinely thrilled about today's episode because it is

0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:39.400
<v Speaker 1>an episode for summer. It is summer, the days are longer,

0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:42.240
<v Speaker 1>many of us have got a little bit of time off.

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:49.720
<v Speaker 1>It sounds to me like the perfect time to earn

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of extra cash. And that might not

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 1>just be for summer, like this might not just be

0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 1>like a few weeks, little earner. What you set up

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 1>now could actually be a long term thing.

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:05.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh, definitely the start of something big.

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So, as the side hustle queen, and you have

0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 1>declared yourself to be that in the past, I'm going

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 1>to put you on the spot today to come up

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:22.880
<v Speaker 1>with six summer side hustles today for us. But but

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:25.600
<v Speaker 1>we are going to do things a little bit differently

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:27.840
<v Speaker 1>today because we've talked side hustles in the past and

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:32.039
<v Speaker 1>you've just breezed through those episodes without any hussles. Going

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 1>to make things a little bit harder for you today.

0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I want three side hustles for adults, and then three

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 1>side hustles that the kids can do, perhaps during the

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:46.160
<v Speaker 1>summer holidays when they're sitting around and bored and they.

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Want to spend your money. Yeah, where they can start

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 2>earning their own money.

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Their own money and spend their own cash. Are you

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 1>up for the challenge?

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:56.560
<v Speaker 2>I have one request, Oh dear, can we make it ten?

0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Because I'm a bit OCD. Six just doesn't work for me.

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Sure?

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Five adults, five children?

0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, this is this is unexpected.

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 2>Has to be quick though.

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 1>No, that's okay, that's fine. Yeah, that's that's fine. I'm

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 1>just I'm reordering my list. You spring this on me

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>and I.

0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:13.320
<v Speaker 2>Take this on me.

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, that sounds fair. It's a dual springing. Okay,

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 1>let's go Number one adult side hustle calling something an

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>adult side hustle. Instantly sounds like only fans, doesn't it.

0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 2>That's actually a topic for another day.

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 1>I reckon, okay, why not? Well, come on, like, there's

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>no judgment here, but it's just like I like the

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:40.960
<v Speaker 1>least qualified person to talk about only fans. So, but

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 1>this could be an interesting conversation like this. Actually, yeah,

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:46.120
<v Speaker 1>actually I.

0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:47.639
<v Speaker 2>Think it's interesting because there's a lot of things that

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 2>people wouldn't think about with that is a side hustle.

0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:53.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because you can just do feet.

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:56.240
<v Speaker 2>There lots of things.

0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let's go number one side hustle, fur grown ups.

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:05.240
<v Speaker 2>There we go, all right, Uber Driving sorry, and Amazon Flex.

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:10.120
<v Speaker 2>So driving for Uber, you know, packages or Amazon Flex

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:13.440
<v Speaker 2>is a great way to make some flexible income. It's

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:15.640
<v Speaker 2>a really busy time of the year. You've got lots

0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.480
<v Speaker 2>of parties still going on. People are racing to the airport,

0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 2>You've got light late night events, so you've put a

0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:25.079
<v Speaker 2>lot of people in demand for rides. So with everyone

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.400
<v Speaker 2>also shopping online, you know, with the post Christmas sales,

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:32.240
<v Speaker 2>the need for delivery service skyrockets, and who wants to

0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 2>go and sit on a beautiful slinny day in traffic

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:36.960
<v Speaker 2>to go pick up your packages or do your shopping online.

0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 2>So with these particular site hustles, Uber and Amazon Flex,

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 2>you set your own schedules so you know you have

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 2>your block that you work essentially like a shift. You're

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.200
<v Speaker 2>in your own car. With Amazon Flex, you can even

0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 2>have a pet in the car as a companion, which

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 2>is pretty cool, and then obviously pack some snacks yourself

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.200
<v Speaker 2>if Uber Driving got to have car a nice and

0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 2>clean but this is a great way to drive with

0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:04.680
<v Speaker 2>air conditioning on and listen to your favorite podcasts well

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 2>earning some extra money.

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 1>That's great. I like the fact that you did squeeze

0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:13.120
<v Speaker 1>in a mention of podcasts, this one specifically, how do

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 1>they afford that?

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh and Sugar Mama's Fireplay.

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 1>And Fear and great. So you got a lot of

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:19.440
<v Speaker 1>listening to do, so you better get one of these

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:21.200
<v Speaker 1>jobs straight away and start listening because you've got to

0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 1>get through your summer listening. Okay, Uber Driving, Amazon Flex,

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 1>we're combining that into one number two. Shall we go

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:31.360
<v Speaker 1>all adult and then all kids? Yes? Okay, what's your

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:33.599
<v Speaker 1>second adult side hustle for summer.

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Decluttering and selling unwanted items?

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:38.480
<v Speaker 1>It's the time to do it, isn't it because it

0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 1>is coming into Christmas. You need to clear some space, right, You've.

0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Got to find it home for all those presents you

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.719
<v Speaker 2>got and especially the stuff the kids get given.

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:50.040
<v Speaker 1>And also people are looking for I'm just taking over

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:55.320
<v Speaker 1>your tip here. People are looking for things secondhand in

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 1>the lead up to Christmas as well, because if they

0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.640
<v Speaker 1>are smart with their money, then you're not buy all

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.160
<v Speaker 1>of your present brand new stuff. You're jumping onto Facebook marketplace,

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:05.839
<v Speaker 1>so you're jumping onto gum Tree or any one of

0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:09.839
<v Speaker 1>these things, and you're buying good quality things secondhand to gift.

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Exactly as a group is to get some duds of

0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.560
<v Speaker 2>a presence, a good way to just quickly offload them

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 2>clear some extra cash. But you know, this is the

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 2>time of the year when you know, if you're not

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:21.760
<v Speaker 2>going away, you're at home and you're having a breakaway

0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:23.919
<v Speaker 2>from work, you've got the time to do this. You know,

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:27.359
<v Speaker 2>to take those photographs and upload them so you know

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 2>you can actually even offer this as a service to

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, your family and friends and your neighbors, and

0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, for people who want to do it, or

0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 2>don't have the time or couldn't be bothered, but know

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 2>that they've got quite a bit of valuable stuff to

0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:41.120
<v Speaker 2>declutter and sell, so therapeutic and profitable.

0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:43.479
<v Speaker 1>I would say I like selling stuff online. What I

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:47.039
<v Speaker 1>do not like is the constant message of hi is

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:50.479
<v Speaker 1>this available? You know you've got that right, and you're like,

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:54.279
<v Speaker 1>if the ad is still online, yes, it is still available. Oh,

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.800
<v Speaker 1>then they'll follow up with Hi, what size is this?

0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:00.200
<v Speaker 1>It's in the ad? Hi? Where are you located in

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.719
<v Speaker 1>the ad? Hi? How much is it? It's in the ad?

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Read the ad? If you still want it, then message

0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.400
<v Speaker 1>me and buy it. I get very angry, and.

0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 2>There are also a lot of scammers as well. We

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 2>should warn people, so be very careful when it comes

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:16.919
<v Speaker 2>to selling things and buying things online, you know, through

0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:18.480
<v Speaker 2>the secondhand economy.

0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.120
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm going to steer clear of that one. For

0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 1>me this summer. It just realized how angry it makes

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:26.680
<v Speaker 1>me dealing with people on that platform.

0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:28.839
<v Speaker 2>My dear, why didn't I come over to your house?

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 2>I will for a very I'll give you mate th

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.640
<v Speaker 2>rates not come and declutter your house and we could

0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 2>split the profits we make and I'll sell everything for

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 2>you through.

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:42.120
<v Speaker 1>You cannot joke about that because I will one hundred

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 1>percent take you up on it, and you know what,

0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:46.880
<v Speaker 1>you could actually keep a greater percentage of what you

0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:51.800
<v Speaker 1>sell just because I cannot do it. I cannot do it.

0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 1>I have I am you block, I have a block.

0:06:55.040 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I am borderline hoarder. I'm a border hoarder. Number three,

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 1>what's your third adult side hustle?

0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 2>So learning and offering a new online skill. So things

0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 2>like video editing, proofreading, copywriting, and you can use various

0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.960
<v Speaker 2>platforms like you debm me, I think it's pronounced and

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 2>skiol share, so you can start freelancing and using upwork

0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 2>to earn some extra money. And these are things you

0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:24.320
<v Speaker 2>can do from the privacy and covert of your own home,

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:28.080
<v Speaker 2>low cost, obviously depending on what training and equipment you need.

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.160
<v Speaker 2>But you can, you know do this. You can choose

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.040
<v Speaker 2>the products you want when it suits you, and obviously

0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.240
<v Speaker 2>the better you are, the more you can charge.

0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.800
<v Speaker 1>So these are not necessarily skills that you currently have.

0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:43.600
<v Speaker 1>You're actually adding a little twist to this of upskill

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 1>yourself and then on sell that skill exactly.

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:49.200
<v Speaker 2>I've actually had a few people reach out to me

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.360
<v Speaker 2>saying can I edit your videos for YouTube? And they're

0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 2>learning how to edit videos at the moment to be paid.

0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:59.480
<v Speaker 2>I think it's brilliant really, and it frees up my time. Love.

0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.400
<v Speaker 1>That's a that's great outsource.

0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:05.040
<v Speaker 2>But this is these are skills that people you know

0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:07.040
<v Speaker 2>will happily pay for.

0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.040
<v Speaker 1>It does feel like at the moment, if you have

0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:13.120
<v Speaker 1>social media skills, you are in the box seat to

0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 1>make some money because every business in the world seems

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:21.280
<v Speaker 1>to be looking at the moment for social media content creators.

0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:23.400
<v Speaker 2>It might be an extra side hustle for me. I

0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:25.320
<v Speaker 2>could I could do some social media for you. I

0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:29.120
<v Speaker 2>can manage your Instagram account my personal one, yes, which

0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:30.000
<v Speaker 2>needs a lot of work.

0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Excuse me. Michael Thompson, author features pictures of my dog.

0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:39.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm very excited to hear you have a dog. As

0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:42.520
<v Speaker 2>I said, when you message me, I now accept you.

0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:46.400
<v Speaker 1>That was the barrier for all of the episodes, the

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:48.439
<v Speaker 1>what one hundred and something episodes we've done, I've never

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:52.040
<v Speaker 1>quite felt like you have connected or accepted me. And

0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:53.800
<v Speaker 1>as soon as we've got a dog, okay, all right,

0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.200
<v Speaker 1>everything's all right. Now you're in now number five. Okay,

0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:59.559
<v Speaker 1>So that's learn a new online skill, learn and then earn.

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Well I like that, learn and earn. I'm sure someone's

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.520
<v Speaker 1>already come up with that, but if not, it's mine.

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:07.520
<v Speaker 1>You heard it here first.

0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Number four pets sitting and dog walking. So with obviously

0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.600
<v Speaker 2>summer holidays, a lot of people are going away and

0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:18.800
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people don't really like ourdea or boarding kennels,

0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:21.599
<v Speaker 2>so having someone to come in and take care of

0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.400
<v Speaker 2>their pets is great. Keeps the pets in the same

0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:28.360
<v Speaker 2>routine comfortable, and there are apps like mad Paws that

0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:32.040
<v Speaker 2>help this. You make it really easy to find people

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.440
<v Speaker 2>that are actually in your local area wanting some help

0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.240
<v Speaker 2>with their dogs and that cats of course, and budgies

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:44.120
<v Speaker 2>and rabbits and guinea pigs and turtles, sneaks, sneaks.

0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Rats, chickens obviously not walking. You wouldn't walk a snake.

0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 1>You might, I might have.

0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Some free time in the garden. I don't know, but

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.320
<v Speaker 2>you know that is a way of earning special money.

0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:57.079
<v Speaker 2>And I even shared on an episode of a long

0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 2>time ago about one of my neighbors who was making

0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.760
<v Speaker 2>sixty do all the day just looking after having someone

0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.640
<v Speaker 2>else's dog come to her house for the day to

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:06.200
<v Speaker 2>hang out with her while she worked from home.

0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.120
<v Speaker 1>And typically with pet sitting and dog walking. I mean,

0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.040
<v Speaker 1>that's one example of the dog coming to you, but

0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:16.960
<v Speaker 1>typically does the pet sitter go and stay in the

0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:20.960
<v Speaker 1>house as well, So it becomes actually pet sitting and

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:22.200
<v Speaker 1>house sitting at the same time.

0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:24.640
<v Speaker 2>It can it really does vary where some people are happy,

0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, for their animal to go to that person's house,

0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:30.679
<v Speaker 2>or some people wat she move into the house. So

0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:32.800
<v Speaker 2>it's a bit of a sort of combination of the two.

0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 2>It can be whatever you want it to be.

0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Is it expensive?

0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:41.120
<v Speaker 2>I well, I don't know. I am very lucky because

0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.080
<v Speaker 2>my friend of mine moves into a house when we

0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:44.880
<v Speaker 2>go and we don't pay him other than give him

0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:47.680
<v Speaker 2>lots of wine, and he uses our house to do

0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:48.720
<v Speaker 2>whatever he likes.

0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, we've talked about that as a savings hack before

0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 1>as well. The fact that it's it's kind of like

0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.199
<v Speaker 1>a it's a free holiday, or it's like an a

0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.880
<v Speaker 1>combinat because it's a change and if you are living

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:00.719
<v Speaker 1>in a new area, you get to trial and new

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of cafes and things around. If you live near

0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:04.959
<v Speaker 1>a beach, you can go to the beach all these

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:06.480
<v Speaker 1>kinds of things, and so you just treat it as

0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:09.160
<v Speaker 1>a as a breakaway from your own house and a

0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 1>break in your own routine. Okay, that's number four. Number five,

0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:15.320
<v Speaker 1>this is our final adult side hustle for summer.

0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 2>All right, event assistance?

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 1>What is this?

0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:23.400
<v Speaker 2>You're still thinking about OnlyFans? I am so summer parties

0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.600
<v Speaker 2>and weddings, you know, having an extra set of hands

0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:29.480
<v Speaker 2>for setting up, for serving, and for cleaning up. So

0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.120
<v Speaker 2>you're most assisting with becoming a little bit of an

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:32.880
<v Speaker 2>event planner.

0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I actually like that. I like cleaning up after a gathering.

0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:38.360
<v Speaker 2>I hate it.

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:42.080
<v Speaker 1>No, it's really satisfying. Don't you find that? Like, it

0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:45.760
<v Speaker 1>is really really satisfying to just put everything into the

0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.320
<v Speaker 1>dishwasher and no, you have to set like four loads

0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.040
<v Speaker 1>off in the dishwasher in order to get it all done,

0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:52.880
<v Speaker 1>and you work through it methodically. You get everything looking

0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.679
<v Speaker 1>nice and neat and clean. That's just so satisfying. It's

0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:56.920
<v Speaker 1>the best part of the whole gathering.

0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:02.959
<v Speaker 2>Oh, stickiness everywhere. I know. I'm a cleaner, I'd clean

0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:06.800
<v Speaker 2>all the time, but I hate the cleanup of entertaining.

0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:10.559
<v Speaker 1>Would you advertise your services online for this kind of thing?

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Like how do you do the letterbox drop?

0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:15.840
<v Speaker 2>You can put a notice up on you know, community board.

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:19.360
<v Speaker 2>You could obviously put it online, posted on social media

0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:22.720
<v Speaker 2>all sorts of different ways Facebook let people know, and

0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.559
<v Speaker 2>obviously even put it on air tasker. Perhaps that you're

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:29.640
<v Speaker 2>available to help with parties with setting up, serving food,

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:33.760
<v Speaker 2>serving drinks, you know, maintaining even the other way to

0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:37.679
<v Speaker 2>at I'm assuming that's a good point. I went and

0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:39.400
<v Speaker 2>working with children as well, because I went to a

0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:43.880
<v Speaker 2>barbecue on the weekend for Christmas and they had a

0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:45.880
<v Speaker 2>nanny there because they had lots of children and there

0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.240
<v Speaker 2>was a swimming pool and obviously got to keep your

0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:50.880
<v Speaker 2>eyes on your own children, but just to help take

0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:53.880
<v Speaker 2>the pressure off, she had this danny basically at the

0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.719
<v Speaker 2>pool so that she had someone had their eyes, well,

0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:59.480
<v Speaker 2>an extra set of eyes to assist with looking out

0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:01.480
<v Speaker 2>for the kids, keeping them safe, and then also helping

0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.000
<v Speaker 2>entertain them. And you know, she sat down and on

0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 2>the ground was playing and that was brilliant. And it

0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:08.880
<v Speaker 2>was like I had three kids, so I had my eyeballs,

0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:10.960
<v Speaker 2>could only go so far, but having her there as well,

0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:13.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, it was really comforting and I thought that

0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:15.360
<v Speaker 2>was brilliant. And then everyone chipped in to help pay

0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.120
<v Speaker 2>for a cleaner because this house was being seriously trashed

0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:21.640
<v Speaker 2>by so many children and like doing gingerbread houses.

0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.679
<v Speaker 1>Oh dear, that's a good idea though. Summer party's, weddings,

0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:26.400
<v Speaker 1>all that kind of thing. An extra set of hands,

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:29.360
<v Speaker 1>whether it is for cleaning, for serving, setting up all

0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:31.760
<v Speaker 1>that kind of thing. Letterbox drop, you could post something

0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:36.400
<v Speaker 1>on you like your local community Facebook group, because every

0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:39.320
<v Speaker 1>summurb has one. Yes, yes you can pop it on there.

0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:42.079
<v Speaker 2>But also let friends dose that and say, Fris, could

0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:43.920
<v Speaker 2>you please speak to it of your friends or family

0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:45.840
<v Speaker 2>that know they're having a party would love an extra

0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:47.800
<v Speaker 2>set of hands to clean up and serve or to

0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:50.520
<v Speaker 2>watch the kids. You know. So the adult's going to

0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:51.280
<v Speaker 2>kind of relax a bit.

0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, they are the adult side hustles. There's some

0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:59.240
<v Speaker 1>good ones there. We're going to take a quick break

0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:01.720
<v Speaker 1>and when we come back, we are going to talk

0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.840
<v Speaker 1>about putting the kids to work and helping them to

0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.520
<v Speaker 1>earn a little bit of extra cash over summer and

0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:17.160
<v Speaker 1>hopefully getting them out of your own hair. Can are

0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:20.360
<v Speaker 1>we doing summer side hustles today? What started out as

0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:23.560
<v Speaker 1>a list of six summer side hustles has now become ten,

0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:27.400
<v Speaker 1>so it's not quite as illiterative anymore. But that's all

0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:33.080
<v Speaker 1>right because there's bonus side hustles. We've done five adult ideas,

0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:35.200
<v Speaker 1>things that you might be able to do to earn

0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.360
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of extra money across the summer. Now

0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:40.640
<v Speaker 1>for the kids, if they are bored, if they are

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.840
<v Speaker 1>sick of or you're sick of them sitting in front

0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:44.160
<v Speaker 1>of the TV, or sick of.

0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:46.360
<v Speaker 2>Draining your walk because they want to go up to

0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:48.440
<v Speaker 2>the shopping center and hang out with their friends and

0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:50.800
<v Speaker 2>they need twenty dollars to get sushi.

0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:53.840
<v Speaker 1>This feels like a very personal example.

0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:57.440
<v Speaker 2>It is my eleven year old has just become overnight

0:14:57.800 --> 0:14:59.960
<v Speaker 2>very independent and has a bigger social life than me.

0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:03.120
<v Speaker 2>It of course expects me to fund this. So I

0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:06.400
<v Speaker 2>am actually in the thick of the side hustle movement

0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:07.400
<v Speaker 2>with my son Roco.

0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:11.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let's go through five side hustles and for kids,

0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:15.240
<v Speaker 1>what is the first one on this list? It's actually

0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.920
<v Speaker 1>number six on the list overall, So I'm a very

0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:18.880
<v Speaker 1>list based today.

0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:23.040
<v Speaker 2>So number one is car washing. So summer often means

0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:27.600
<v Speaker 2>sandy feet, salty water, and you know in my car,

0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:29.800
<v Speaker 2>if you dare it enough to put your head in

0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:32.760
<v Speaker 2>my car, you'll see it's disgusting. We've got melted ice

0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:37.640
<v Speaker 2>cream wrappers, water bottles, it's quite foul. So great opportunity

0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.400
<v Speaker 2>to get these kids cleaning up after their own mess

0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:44.000
<v Speaker 2>and they can safely play with water out in the

0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.400
<v Speaker 2>backyard or in the front yard and clean your car.

0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:49.680
<v Speaker 2>And Rocco has actually become quite efficient this. He gets

0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.840
<v Speaker 2>the blower and just packing me in the car, he

0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:56.880
<v Speaker 2>blows the car and everything flies out. It's very efficient.

0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:01.160
<v Speaker 1>That does sound very efficient, so like I would create

0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:03.240
<v Speaker 1>an awful mess outside of the car, then.

0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.680
<v Speaker 2>It does with its that all the way was here.

0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:06.920
<v Speaker 2>I do make sure he picks up. We don't wan

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.040
<v Speaker 2>stuff going into the ocean. But it is a very

0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.320
<v Speaker 2>efficient way to actually clean clear the area so you

0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:12.480
<v Speaker 2>can then start wiping down.

0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.960
<v Speaker 1>I love this idea. It's such an old school kind

0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:17.160
<v Speaker 1>of thing, isn't it.

0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:19.320
<v Speaker 2>But it's expensive to go and get your car washed

0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:19.800
<v Speaker 2>these days.

0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:22.840
<v Speaker 1>It is so I remember washing people's cars when I

0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:27.320
<v Speaker 1>was I would have been about probably eleven, in order

0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:30.480
<v Speaker 1>to save money to buy a Super Nintendo. It was

0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:31.760
<v Speaker 1>great and we succeeded.

0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Do you still have that Super Nintendo?

0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Yes, somewhere. It's probably worth money now it's an antid. Yeah, okay,

0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:42.880
<v Speaker 1>it's car washing. That's number number six overall, number one

0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:46.400
<v Speaker 1>on the kid's sub list. Let's go for number two,

0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Stroke seven.

0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:53.320
<v Speaker 2>Lightweight, home and admin. So like folding laundry. As we

0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:56.640
<v Speaker 2>all know, in school holidays there is a lot of laundry,

0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:59.600
<v Speaker 2>and some kids, like my two daughters, like to worry

0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:03.080
<v Speaker 2>about different outfits throughout the day. And if you're going

0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.320
<v Speaker 2>to the beach or the pull by the pool, there's

0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:08.399
<v Speaker 2>a lot of linen that needs to be washed, so

0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:10.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, a bit of gardening as well.

0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm feeling okay, thinking as a child like channeling and

0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:18.960
<v Speaker 1>in a child here this all sounds a lot like

0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:22.640
<v Speaker 1>very boring chores.

0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:25.760
<v Speaker 2>That's the point you can realize that welcome to the

0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:29.919
<v Speaker 2>real world, children, like life is not all like super

0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Nintendos and hanging out spending twenty dollars at sushi train

0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:38.560
<v Speaker 2>with your friends like this is part about equipping them,

0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:41.800
<v Speaker 2>equipping them, equipping them, I can't say.

0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:43.600
<v Speaker 1>It equipping equipping equipping that.

0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Sounds a bit to many peas there. Equipping them for

0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:50.480
<v Speaker 2>the real world and understanding that you know your priorities. First,

0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:53.040
<v Speaker 2>you've got to have responsibilities before we can gut and

0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:53.360
<v Speaker 2>have fun.

0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but if we're trying to entice them away from

0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:59.480
<v Speaker 1>say playing Fortnite, for instance, or playing an.

0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:02.879
<v Speaker 2>Xbox, they're getting payment, and they're getting immediate payment the

0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:03.760
<v Speaker 2>moment they're finished.

0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So we're talking home admin, light laundry kind of things,

0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:09.920
<v Speaker 1>so folding clothes, weeding the garden.

0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:11.600
<v Speaker 2>Dusting something that's obviously safe.

0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:12.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:14.840
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't be getting my child to stand my floors,

0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:19.040
<v Speaker 2>for example, But you know I got Rocker to clean

0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:22.159
<v Speaker 2>all the skirting boards the other day and all use

0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:25.399
<v Speaker 2>the feather duster to get into all the corners of cobwebs.

0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:26.920
<v Speaker 1>It was great. Yeah, that's good.

0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:31.160
<v Speaker 2>I may be pushing the boundaries with myself, but he's

0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:31.920
<v Speaker 2>saving up as well.

0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:35.000
<v Speaker 1>If he wants his sushi, well, exactly, he's got to do.

0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:38.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to understand show that it's so hard to you.

0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:40.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a tree, a money tree.

0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:44.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're not an ATM. No, So okay, got wee

0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:45.800
<v Speaker 1>are sounding old here?

0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Well you I'm old and grumpy because I've been dealing

0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:49.399
<v Speaker 2>with this for a while.

0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:52.440
<v Speaker 1>What I'm hoping is about thirty seconds ago, you said,

0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:54.560
<v Speaker 1>if you these kids need to learn that it's not

0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:57.560
<v Speaker 1>all about super Nintendos. I'm just hoping that at some

0:18:57.600 --> 0:19:02.000
<v Speaker 1>point we take that clip isolation and put it somewhere separately.

0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:03.760
<v Speaker 1>And it makes you sound like you are about one

0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:04.600
<v Speaker 1>hundred years old.

0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:06.320
<v Speaker 2>I feel a hundred oh.

0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Good anyway at number eight.

0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:14.320
<v Speaker 2>So cooking and meal prep okay, yes, So obviously the

0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:17.080
<v Speaker 2>holidays are full on. You've got lots of people coming

0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:19.360
<v Speaker 2>and going, you're entertaining, and well you might be going

0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:21.040
<v Speaker 2>to someone's house and need to take a plate with you.

0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:25.040
<v Speaker 2>So teaching your kids about food and how long it

0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:28.600
<v Speaker 2>takes to cook meal and also the nutritional benefits. So

0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:31.840
<v Speaker 2>getting your kids to help with maybe if it's safe,

0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:35.960
<v Speaker 2>chopping vegetables, you know, washing things, laying the table or

0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:38.720
<v Speaker 2>like the things that help make the whole meal go

0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:41.920
<v Speaker 2>by smoother. And obviously it's very you've got to be

0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:45.240
<v Speaker 2>considered of their age and their skill set. But this

0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:47.560
<v Speaker 2>is a great way of bonding experience as well. But

0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:49.679
<v Speaker 2>they're also they're learning a new skill and this is

0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:52.280
<v Speaker 2>something again I'm doing in my own home with Rocco

0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:55.400
<v Speaker 2>and what happened He's been We do Hello Fresh Ones

0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:58.520
<v Speaker 2>a fortnight, which is brilliant. So he's become so good

0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:03.320
<v Speaker 2>and so confident at cooking and food prep. Last night,

0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:05.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm hungry, Do you mind if I go and make

0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:09.320
<v Speaker 2>myself a burrito? I've never made a burrito. He's never

0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:12.000
<v Speaker 2>made a burrito. He found something on TikTok and he

0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:15.600
<v Speaker 2>made the most delicious burrito. He even need to defrost

0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:16.480
<v Speaker 2>things to do this.

0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:18.000
<v Speaker 1>And that's impressive.

0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:19.960
<v Speaker 2>And the rule was that's fine, but you must clean

0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:23.960
<v Speaker 2>up everything afterwards, and he did, and I was so

0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:24.840
<v Speaker 2>proud of himself.

0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that the dream to have kids that will either

0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:30.560
<v Speaker 1>feed themselves or hopefully then one day feed you as

0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:31.040
<v Speaker 1>well well.

0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Exactly. But it's funny how that you know, he's been

0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:36.560
<v Speaker 2>doing food prep and cooking with me as a side hustle,

0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:41.760
<v Speaker 2>turns extra money, and he's actually become organically become a

0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:43.720
<v Speaker 2>benefit for him in his life skills.

0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's great, eleven year old.

0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:46.000
<v Speaker 2>I was so proud.

0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that is awesome. Yeah, that's actually a good point.

0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:51.119
<v Speaker 1>The fact that this is not just a kind of

0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:53.800
<v Speaker 1>making some money short term, this is actually that is

0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:57.200
<v Speaker 1>preparation for the rest of your life. Exactly, well done,

0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:00.199
<v Speaker 1>that's good. Okay, last one bring home.

0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:02.359
<v Speaker 2>I feel like we haven't.

0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:05.720
<v Speaker 1>It was eight No, we did car washing, then home

0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:09.160
<v Speaker 1>and laundry and things home admin, then cooking and meal

0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:12.280
<v Speaker 1>prep and then I've written meal prep down again. So

0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:15.000
<v Speaker 1>apparently we've done two lots of meal prep. So let's

0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:15.600
<v Speaker 1>get another night.

0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:20.960
<v Speaker 2>You okay? You had me worried. Okay. So babysitting is

0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:25.439
<v Speaker 2>a busy time of the year. You're out barbecues, catch ups.

0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:29.360
<v Speaker 2>You also might just want to break date night. Maybe

0:21:30.400 --> 0:21:35.320
<v Speaker 2>I have babysitting. Yeah, great, and obviously again age appropriate,

0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:38.879
<v Speaker 2>but or even just like sometimes I will get a

0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:41.240
<v Speaker 2>babysitter and I'll just go and sit in another room,

0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:43.480
<v Speaker 2>close the door. Like I had to get some work

0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:44.960
<v Speaker 2>down the other day of the weekend, and I needed

0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:46.760
<v Speaker 2>the kids to be quiet and be safe, so I

0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:48.800
<v Speaker 2>got a babysitter over for a couple of hours so

0:21:48.800 --> 0:21:50.480
<v Speaker 2>I could just get on top of my work and

0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:52.080
<v Speaker 2>clear my emails that were stressing me out.

0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:55.680
<v Speaker 1>It largely becomes more about the entertainment and distraction than

0:21:55.960 --> 0:21:58.439
<v Speaker 1>kind of and you are on hand. Yeah, if anything

0:21:58.480 --> 0:21:59.120
<v Speaker 1>goes wrong.

0:21:58.880 --> 0:22:01.040
<v Speaker 2>And one needs anything, I'm just yeah, knock on the door.

0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:02.680
<v Speaker 1>But it just means that you are not the first

0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:05.480
<v Speaker 1>port of call for every single question that is asked.

0:22:05.560 --> 0:22:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, hearing mom, mom, momum, all day. I

0:22:09.000 --> 0:22:13.840
<v Speaker 2>have a ten point a point one for extra for

0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:14.400
<v Speaker 2>good luck.

0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, so far we're only on number nine, so if you've.

0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Got one more, you have got two more.

0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:21.360
<v Speaker 1>It's got to say, I'm gonna put it out there.

0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:23.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay, we'll cap me at ten.

0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:27.920
<v Speaker 1>No, these lists are a mess today, and it's because

0:22:28.119 --> 0:22:30.800
<v Speaker 1>you changed it from six summerside hustles to ten.

0:22:30.920 --> 0:22:33.640
<v Speaker 2>I named ten because I just can't have to do everything, and.

0:22:33.600 --> 0:22:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Then I had to do it as two subsets within

0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:40.680
<v Speaker 1>one master list. So it's just it is diabolical.

0:22:40.119 --> 0:22:41.280
<v Speaker 2>But keeping you on your toes.

0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:44.879
<v Speaker 1>So we have got number nine there, number nine on

0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:48.119
<v Speaker 1>the overall master list and then obviously number four in

0:22:48.160 --> 0:22:51.920
<v Speaker 1>the kids subset list is babysitting great, and you advertise

0:22:52.000 --> 0:22:54.560
<v Speaker 1>that through your local Facebook group again word of mouth

0:22:54.640 --> 0:22:56.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of bait. You can do a letterbox drop also

0:22:56.920 --> 0:23:01.600
<v Speaker 1>letterbox drops. Right, it's actually a sarde hustle in itself.

0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:06.960
<v Speaker 1>It is because and it's a relatively a safe one

0:23:07.000 --> 0:23:09.520
<v Speaker 1>to a degree, because it is typically your own neighborhood

0:23:09.760 --> 0:23:11.679
<v Speaker 1>that you were doing it through and so you can

0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:14.760
<v Speaker 1>google kind of pamphlet delivery and check out kind of

0:23:14.760 --> 0:23:17.159
<v Speaker 1>what's in your area. And also you actually get the

0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:19.040
<v Speaker 1>menu ail box anyway saying hey, do you want to

0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:21.360
<v Speaker 1>be a walker for the local deliveries.

0:23:21.440 --> 0:23:24.280
<v Speaker 2>And it's actually great fitness because you're getting of steps up.

0:23:24.480 --> 0:23:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Yep.

0:23:25.080 --> 0:23:27.120
<v Speaker 2>So obviously slips off, slap, be careful of the sun.

0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:29.360
<v Speaker 1>So that one is good for both kids and adults.

0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:30.879
<v Speaker 1>So I'm going to put that at the top of

0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:32.800
<v Speaker 1>the list as the best tip we've had today because

0:23:32.800 --> 0:23:35.719
<v Speaker 1>it is one that both people can use and it

0:23:35.720 --> 0:23:38.920
<v Speaker 1>came from me. What's your next one is tech help

0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:42.560
<v Speaker 1>for seniors. So kids these days are just so clever

0:23:42.680 --> 0:23:44.639
<v Speaker 1>with technology. Yeah, you know, I had to switch over

0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:47.439
<v Speaker 1>my I find the other day. I was having a

0:23:47.440 --> 0:23:49.760
<v Speaker 1>bit of a meltdown. I was filled with anxiety that

0:23:49.960 --> 0:23:52.879
<v Speaker 1>how this process would go, and things didn't quite go

0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:55.160
<v Speaker 1>as smoothly as I would have liked. This is where

0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:55.879
<v Speaker 1>kids are sober.

0:23:55.920 --> 0:23:57.800
<v Speaker 2>They just come in. They've got so much confidence that

0:23:59.000 --> 0:24:01.080
<v Speaker 2>they'll fix it for you. So if you aren't you

0:24:01.080 --> 0:24:03.680
<v Speaker 2>have a child that is really tech savvy, they can

0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:06.440
<v Speaker 2>sit down with someone who's not and actually helped fix

0:24:06.480 --> 0:24:08.560
<v Speaker 2>all their things in there, whether it be their computer

0:24:08.720 --> 0:24:10.520
<v Speaker 2>or their iPad or their iPhone.

0:24:10.760 --> 0:24:13.560
<v Speaker 1>And chances are they're already doing that for their grandparents anyway,

0:24:14.280 --> 0:24:15.720
<v Speaker 1>they may as well do it for other people and

0:24:15.720 --> 0:24:16.399
<v Speaker 1>get paid for it.

0:24:16.600 --> 0:24:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Exactly.

0:24:17.520 --> 0:24:20.879
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's a really good idea, teaching people how to

0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:22.879
<v Speaker 1>use connect their printer.

0:24:23.240 --> 0:24:25.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and there are those annoying little things that can

0:24:25.920 --> 0:24:29.240
<v Speaker 2>really irritate you, but a child comes through and just

0:24:29.480 --> 0:24:30.600
<v Speaker 2>fixes it's done.

0:24:31.200 --> 0:24:34.240
<v Speaker 1>They just have this kind of natural understanding. Can I

0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:36.960
<v Speaker 1>tell something funny please? Tom and I have really both

0:24:36.960 --> 0:24:40.040
<v Speaker 1>of us have a really bad sense of direction. And

0:24:40.080 --> 0:24:43.520
<v Speaker 1>we had a holiday in Tokyo earlier this year and

0:24:43.800 --> 0:24:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I for twenty twenty four and.

0:24:45.840 --> 0:24:50.439
<v Speaker 2>We got lost. But Rocker was brilliant instructions. He was

0:24:50.480 --> 0:24:53.399
<v Speaker 2>able to we were going in the complete opposite direction,

0:24:54.200 --> 0:24:57.000
<v Speaker 2>and he was like our devour guide as to where

0:24:57.000 --> 0:24:58.400
<v Speaker 2>we were going and how to do it and which

0:24:58.440 --> 0:25:01.760
<v Speaker 2>trained to catch and which connection. It was unbelievable. And

0:25:01.760 --> 0:25:04.320
<v Speaker 2>so when we had to go to a wedding in

0:25:04.440 --> 0:25:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Rome for three days, which was literally a run there,

0:25:07.280 --> 0:25:09.600
<v Speaker 2>run back because we couldn't let the kids we was

0:25:09.800 --> 0:25:12.359
<v Speaker 2>we got bost in Rome, We're like we did call Rocco.

0:25:12.920 --> 0:25:14.399
<v Speaker 2>Let him know where we are on our maps and

0:25:14.440 --> 0:25:15.960
<v Speaker 2>he can help us get to the hotel.

0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:17.200
<v Speaker 1>That is impressive.

0:25:17.480 --> 0:25:19.720
<v Speaker 2>We were stuffed. Yeah, it's so good.

0:25:19.800 --> 0:25:23.920
<v Speaker 1>So here is human google maps, google maps. That's awesome.

0:25:25.040 --> 0:25:26.919
<v Speaker 1>All right, is that our full list? What did you

0:25:26.920 --> 0:25:28.280
<v Speaker 1>have a little bonus one that you wanted to?

0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, I do, but I just just a lemonade stand.

0:25:33.640 --> 0:25:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Go on, drop it then lemonade stand stand.

0:25:36.080 --> 0:25:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's hot and everyone loves supporting a child who

0:25:39.840 --> 0:25:42.560
<v Speaker 2>has some sort of stand, whether they're selling biscuits or

0:25:42.640 --> 0:25:46.240
<v Speaker 2>cakes or I saw the other day kids selling succulents,

0:25:46.240 --> 0:25:50.800
<v Speaker 2>which I thought was really andrew like a hydration station

0:25:50.960 --> 0:25:52.560
<v Speaker 2>like Rocco did for his school.

0:25:52.760 --> 0:25:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I love it.

0:25:54.560 --> 0:25:57.840
<v Speaker 2>Everyone loves you, and no one like people say it's

0:25:57.840 --> 0:25:59.440
<v Speaker 2>a dollar, oh keep the change.

0:25:59.359 --> 0:26:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. The big challenge with these ones no one has

0:26:02.400 --> 0:26:06.239
<v Speaker 1>cash anymore. Like if you get people passing by in

0:26:06.280 --> 0:26:09.280
<v Speaker 1>the old days, like everyone would just have some coins

0:26:09.280 --> 0:26:11.399
<v Speaker 1>in their pocket, or they at least have their wallet

0:26:11.440 --> 0:26:13.320
<v Speaker 1>with a five dollar note or something in it, whereas

0:26:13.359 --> 0:26:16.200
<v Speaker 1>now if you get someone walking past you, they will

0:26:16.240 --> 0:26:18.400
<v Speaker 1>be like, I'm sorry, I don't have cash. I've never

0:26:18.440 --> 0:26:19.280
<v Speaker 1>got cash on me.

0:26:19.280 --> 0:26:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Ever, that's why you have that square white square thing

0:26:22.000 --> 0:26:25.160
<v Speaker 2>you can buy from office works, which is not expensive

0:26:25.160 --> 0:26:27.480
<v Speaker 2>at all, and you can just collect money on that tap.

0:26:27.960 --> 0:26:31.280
<v Speaker 1>So kids actually use a little square payment you.

0:26:31.240 --> 0:26:34.240
<v Speaker 2>Can just buy them from office works. Oh, stopping you

0:26:34.280 --> 0:26:36.280
<v Speaker 2>these days from earning a little side hustle.

0:26:36.600 --> 0:26:39.439
<v Speaker 1>That is taking side hustles, particularly for kids, to a

0:26:39.480 --> 0:26:40.240
<v Speaker 1>whole other level.

0:26:40.280 --> 0:26:43.800
<v Speaker 2>And that's why they are like helping seniors with their

0:26:43.920 --> 0:26:44.400
<v Speaker 2>tech help.

0:26:44.560 --> 0:26:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well said, okay, all right, that's a good list.

0:26:46.840 --> 0:26:51.160
<v Speaker 1>So just to recap adults, first, Uber driving Amazon Flex,

0:26:51.200 --> 0:26:53.880
<v Speaker 1>we put that in the one. Number two was decluttering

0:26:53.920 --> 0:26:59.200
<v Speaker 1>and selling online. Number three is learn a new skill

0:26:59.359 --> 0:27:02.639
<v Speaker 1>online and then monetize that skill, whether it's learning to

0:27:03.080 --> 0:27:06.800
<v Speaker 1>edit videos or edit something and then on sell that.

0:27:06.960 --> 0:27:09.880
<v Speaker 1>I can't think of any examples other than editing things.

0:27:09.600 --> 0:27:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Through freading, copywriting.

0:27:11.119 --> 0:27:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Hmm yeah, good point. Okay, that's number that was number three.

0:27:14.680 --> 0:27:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Number four pet sitting and dog walking, and let's like,

0:27:17.200 --> 0:27:20.120
<v Speaker 1>let's group house sitting in there as well, Yes, if

0:27:20.119 --> 0:27:23.000
<v Speaker 1>we can. Number five, because it's really a bumper list,

0:27:23.320 --> 0:27:25.080
<v Speaker 1>like there are no limits on this list. There are

0:27:25.080 --> 0:27:28.439
<v Speaker 1>just there's tips and ideas all over the place. Number

0:27:28.440 --> 0:27:33.320
<v Speaker 1>five extra set of hand hands plural extra set of

0:27:33.320 --> 0:27:37.679
<v Speaker 1>hands singular hand for summer parties and weddings. That's a

0:27:37.680 --> 0:27:40.480
<v Speaker 1>great idea. Number six getting into the kids zone now,

0:27:40.800 --> 0:27:44.600
<v Speaker 1>car washing, helping around the home in terms of light

0:27:44.920 --> 0:27:49.480
<v Speaker 1>duties inside, cleaning, folding, all that kind of thing. Number

0:27:49.560 --> 0:27:52.320
<v Speaker 1>eight was cooking and meal prep. I like that idea

0:27:52.320 --> 0:27:55.080
<v Speaker 1>because it's a life skill that then can go into adulthood.

0:27:55.760 --> 0:28:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Number nine babysitting. Number ten was tech help for anyone

0:28:01.840 --> 0:28:04.760
<v Speaker 1>else because assuming generally that kids are going to be

0:28:04.760 --> 0:28:07.480
<v Speaker 1>better than most adults and most tech things generalization, but

0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:10.919
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a fairly accurate one. A lemonade stand

0:28:11.040 --> 0:28:13.159
<v Speaker 1>that was ten. A that was a bonus one. And

0:28:13.200 --> 0:28:17.120
<v Speaker 1>then the ultimate tip letterbox delivery. Why wouldn't you? I mean,

0:28:17.480 --> 0:28:20.760
<v Speaker 1>you get fit, you get things delivered, and it's relatively

0:28:20.800 --> 0:28:22.919
<v Speaker 1>easy because everyone's got no junk mail, and so you

0:28:23.000 --> 0:28:25.000
<v Speaker 1>just kind of walk past everyone's mailbox and go, hey,

0:28:25.040 --> 0:28:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I did my job. That's on li Fhile. If everyone

0:28:27.280 --> 0:28:30.440
<v Speaker 1>wants no junk mail, catalogs are the best.

0:28:31.200 --> 0:28:33.760
<v Speaker 2>You really thought this. You're thinking about something about taming.

0:28:33.800 --> 0:28:35.080
<v Speaker 2>This is your own side hustle.

0:28:35.440 --> 0:28:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Do you have a no junk mail thing?

0:28:36.840 --> 0:28:39.200
<v Speaker 2>On your I hate junk mail. I need to go

0:28:39.200 --> 0:28:39.840
<v Speaker 2>and get one.

0:28:40.480 --> 0:28:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh catalogs, How do you know you are like the

0:28:42.880 --> 0:28:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Tips and savings queen? How do you know what is

0:28:46.760 --> 0:28:48.760
<v Speaker 1>on sale if you're not getting these catalogs.

0:28:49.160 --> 0:28:52.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't like the waste damage to the environment. I

0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:55.440
<v Speaker 2>think it's just it's just I have a big issue

0:28:55.480 --> 0:28:57.720
<v Speaker 2>with it. I don't If I need a plumber, I

0:28:57.720 --> 0:28:59.240
<v Speaker 2>will go find a plumb. I don't want I don't

0:28:59.240 --> 0:29:00.360
<v Speaker 2>want someone's business card.

0:29:00.240 --> 0:29:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Being dropped now. I don't want business cards. But what

0:29:02.120 --> 0:29:05.560
<v Speaker 1>I do want is the Kmart catalog or the catalog or.

0:29:05.600 --> 0:29:09.479
<v Speaker 2>All those trees, all that ink like and they all

0:29:09.520 --> 0:29:12.480
<v Speaker 2>end up being going blowing everywhere into your neighborhood, and

0:29:12.880 --> 0:29:13.320
<v Speaker 2>well they.

0:29:13.200 --> 0:29:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Do if your son's blowing it out of it out

0:29:15.720 --> 0:29:17.720
<v Speaker 1>of the car to clean it out, just lasting it

0:29:17.720 --> 0:29:20.240
<v Speaker 1>away unto the gutter. All right, that's a good list.

0:29:20.360 --> 0:29:22.240
<v Speaker 1>If we want more information, how do we find you?

0:29:22.320 --> 0:29:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Before I say that? Can I share a couple of

0:29:24.080 --> 0:29:26.320
<v Speaker 2>thoughts As a side hustle queen?

0:29:26.400 --> 0:29:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Please? All right?

0:29:27.360 --> 0:29:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Side hustles are not just about money. It's about, as

0:29:29.840 --> 0:29:33.720
<v Speaker 2>you said, learning new skills, but also building confidence. And

0:29:33.760 --> 0:29:37.760
<v Speaker 2>it might even for children in particular, spike an entrepreneurial

0:29:37.800 --> 0:29:40.880
<v Speaker 2>spirit with you, which is something very special and should

0:29:40.880 --> 0:29:44.840
<v Speaker 2>be nurtured and obviously enhanced. But for adults also they

0:29:44.840 --> 0:29:48.360
<v Speaker 2>can be the start of something bigger and they are

0:29:48.360 --> 0:29:51.040
<v Speaker 2>a brilliant waif also with adults working with children on

0:29:51.040 --> 0:29:53.800
<v Speaker 2>their side hustle to help teach financial independence, but also

0:29:53.840 --> 0:29:56.520
<v Speaker 2>having fun at the same time. And recently Rocker and

0:29:56.560 --> 0:29:58.400
<v Speaker 2>I we're doing this savings plan for a new bike

0:29:58.440 --> 0:30:00.680
<v Speaker 2>and we've had so much fun. It's been a beautiful

0:30:00.680 --> 0:30:05.280
<v Speaker 2>bonding experience. So whether you're decluttering or folding laundry, this

0:30:05.320 --> 0:30:08.120
<v Speaker 2>is a really great opportunity to have a lot of

0:30:08.120 --> 0:30:11.560
<v Speaker 2>fun together and earn cash. And you never know what

0:30:11.760 --> 0:30:13.640
<v Speaker 2>might actually come from a side hustle. I mean I

0:30:13.640 --> 0:30:15.960
<v Speaker 2>would have never have thought I built a three hundred

0:30:16.000 --> 0:30:18.400
<v Speaker 2>and something thousand dollars share portfolio from hustling.

0:30:19.400 --> 0:30:22.040
<v Speaker 1>That's a great point. The fact is that it starts,

0:30:22.120 --> 0:30:25.160
<v Speaker 1>has to start somewhere right, and you can build some

0:30:25.200 --> 0:30:28.040
<v Speaker 1>fantastic habits that might last a lifetime and could actually

0:30:28.120 --> 0:30:29.080
<v Speaker 1>make you quite wealthy.

0:30:29.120 --> 0:30:30.320
