I collect sap and sell syrup, I trap and do ADC work to get permission, with our son and daughter-in-law we have a small flock of sheep and some laying hens and I have two gardens. most of my time is spent volunteering for several organizations.

Sides hustles pay you money.


Do they require money as in proffit or do othe types of gains qualify? Say access to hunt/trap/fish, paying for new equipment or tools you want but now had no cash or reduce cost to you. How about tax advantages Like on paper you lost money but now you pay 15 k less in taxes. Or maybe making commotion that lead to future opportunities. I have traded laber and work as well. Like tree removal or trading a bird dogs for gun or 4 wheeler as payment full or partial.

Everyone had their own measure Mine is not always cash.

My son just bid weed eating around a lake. Guy said he was a little above his budget now but would call when he was ready. My son loves to fish I suggested if he is 2nd guessing his pricing.was to high now he didn't get it right away( he is 14 and leaving to bid his work) He could call the guy back and offer to reduce his price some for permission to fish and so he could get some before and after pictures for advertisements.

If you buy stuff right at auctions and estate sales you can make surprising money flipping it at Flea Markets on Saturdays, Sundays or both days. I've done as low as 30.00 and as high as 800.00. Sometimes the crowd aint right or you get rained out....I usually get there at daylight and stay till noon or so.

I intended on doing that with used chisel chain grinders. It’s amazing how cheap you can get stuff when someone gets fired in a logging camp (particularly guys from the lesser 48 who now have to pay their way home with tail tucked) but I’ve only ever sold one, now I just have 5 chain grinders and more saws than I can run with my 2 hands

My entire life has been a side-hustle.

Teen modelling. Haven't heard nothing from my agent for some time now. She may be dead or in an old folks home by now...
Might have to get back into building antique trucks again if it keeps going like this.
