I’m writing this after hours, because Healthy Rich is my side hustle now that I have a full-time job. How millennial of me!

This is a new situation for me. I’ve been a media company staffer before, and I did a tiny bit of freelancing on the side of that. And I’ve always had some kind of personal project going over the past 15 years. But I’ve never had a personal project that made a viable, substantial side hustle the way this newsletter does. Something that can’t just fade away while I become entrenched in a new job. So I look forward to learning what all those bloggers were talking about throughout my 20s — what it’s like to build a business while working full time. I always enjoy a new challenge! Stay tuned for lessons learned.


💡 Inspired by a Healthy Rich contributor, a money date is an exercise I crafted for You Don’t Need a Budget. Subscribers can follow along in a private space after the paywall, and I encourage you to steal my questions to guide your own reflections!


What’s the most joyful thing you did with money this week?
