One of my biggest personal finance goals is to retire as a millionaire in my 50s . As someone who didn’t take saving for retirement seriously until I turned 30, I’ve found that in order to make that goal happen, I need to not only be serious about my spending and saving now, but also start planning for ways to accumulate wealth in the future.
In addition to diversifying my investments , I’m always looking for new income streams. Which is why I currently have a handful of side hustles that I do, from selling online courses to freelancing, and am always looking to add on new ones, especially ones that don’t require any upfront capital.
