I recently watched a video on YouTube from CNBC Make It entitled “What It’s Like To Graduate Into A Recession” and it got me thinking about my own experience graduating into a terrible recession. These students from the class of 2020 described the troubles they were facing. Many of them were moving back home with […]

Here’s an interesting fact about me: I’m 33 years old and I’ve never bought a car in my life. That’s sort of a strange thing for someone my age. Depending on how old you are, you’ve likely bought multiple cars over the years – the stats say that your average person buys a new car […]

Around the end of February, I started getting wind that mortgage interest rates were plummeting to record lows. This was about two weeks before the Covid-19 pandemic broke out here in the United States, but I guess the market was starting to notice that something was happening.

Welcome to my April 2020 Side Hustle Report, where I break down all of the side hustle income I was able to generate in April 2020. Things have been pretty busy here in the Financial Panther household. My wife and I had a baby boy at the beginning of March, so we’re still getting used […]

One of the formative moments of my life was when I graduated from college back in 2009. This was right in the heart of the financial crisis, so in terms of timing, I probably couldn’t have graduated at a worse time. Like many of my cohorts in that graduating year, I ended up moving back […]

One of the books that I think everyone should read is The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo. It’s a book that’s about much more than it seems – far more, anyway, than just a book about how to tidy and clean your house. Those of us who consume content about financial independence and […]

One of the things that I think this pandemic has taught us is just how important it is to have a lot of backup plans. When times are good, many people have this assumption that the good times will never come to an end, and as a result, they don’t prepare for any contingencies, instead, […]

As regular readers know, for the past four years, I’ve been documenting exactly what I’ve made from side hustling using various sharing economy and gig economy apps.
