I can’t think of a time in my adult life when I haven’t been fully immersed in a full-time job or career, while also making income on the side. My first side hustle was a part-time job at the local mall where I held my full-time day job. She offered me a few hours a week, and I accepted on the spot.

Although my parents never specifically taught me about finances, they lived a frugal life by necessity. Our mom stayed home to raise us kids; she went to work part-time in the local school system after both my brother and I were in school. The easiest part of being frugal is everything else. Spreadsheets are my friends.

Last year, to make a little extra cash, I started boarding dogs through Rover, and I am about to start a very very part time job using my RN license for a home care company. I have a degree in nursing and worked in pediatrics for 8 years, then left the profession right before I had my third child. What’s your best frugal win?

I read Millionaire Women Next Door around the same time that I became a mother and left the full-time work force to stay at home with our new baby. Even though I was helping my husband from home part-time with his business, I still felt like I wasn’t contributing to our finances and that drove me crazy.

Business degrees are available in a wide variety of fields, ranging from conventional focuses like finance and marketing, to the more unique and specialized such as healthcare, or cutting edge areas like data analytics. For those who can’t afford to drop everything, however, a part-time degree program might be a better fit.
