Rectangle 46

What is a "side hustle?"

A "side hustle" refers to a secondary or an additional source of income earned outside of your primary job or career, typically a part-time or a freelance job.

Side hustles can be anything from e-commerce to offering services like tutoring or pet sitting.

Why people pursue them:

With the rising cost of living, many find their primary source of income insufficient and hence turn to side hustles to supplement their income.

Some do it as a hobby or interest that can turn into income-generating activity and even a future career! Starting a side hustle can help test the waters of entrepreneurship and potentially transition into a full-time business.

Considerations before starting

Having a side hustle can negatively impact your primary job and personal life. Balancing your primary job and your side hustle and your personal and family life can be difficult.

Additionally, you have to ensure that it aligns with your skills, interest and passion or you can be burnt out very quickly. On top of that, make sure your side hustle has a market demand or you'll be faced with losses.

Lastly, understand the legal requirements and tax implications of your chosen side hustle, especially if you are a Work Pass Holder in Singapore.
