I've been busy the past two days, but it was for a good cause. We've finally found an apartment to rent in a pleasant condition and in a decent area with its own parking space, solar heated water, two bedrooms, and generally a comfortable place to call home. On the negative side now, it's a little over our budget, but I'm hoping to find a satisfying-paying job soon enough.

It is good to know that you have found a nice settlement, you can work ou on the budget since I believe you are a capable person and will be able to find a good addition to your source of income.

A side job or hustle shouldn't be affecting your mental and physical health, cause to be honest, I think it also add to thinking that "oh I still have an extra job to attend" which can lead to overthinking and affects physical health like fatigue. Having an extra option for money sources is actually good as long as it doesn't affect your health and time, cause it might sound good to have extra funds but we all know that you know to yourself that forcing something will never be good. Just find extra paying jobs or hustle that ain't heavy, like crypto.
Well,  your hustle or side-income responsibilities may sometimes look like a burden, especially if you're tired and stressed. You may not feel bothered to put the necessary effort to fullfil what needs to be done. There are times that I'm not even in the mood to browse the internet, let alone read and reply to posts about complex subjects, such as price speculation, trading etc. I'm not implying that signature campaigns may feel like a burden, but once in a while, you may not be in the mood for anything.

The side hustle can only affect us neagtiveif we force ourselves to do the job despite we hate it.  But if we are fond of the things we do in our sid jobs, we will never be affected negatively, we might get tired but we fill accomplished.  If one is having problem with their side job, I believe he must look for another source of income and resign from the side job that is giving him discomfort and negative effect.

No matter how small of an extra income it can give us, at the end of the day it will still count. Having a side hustle or part time job outside of our main source of income (may it be work, business, or investment) will always be a good thing no matter how small of an amount it can bring.
Even the lowest-paying campaign on the forum (due to rank restrictions), for a full member, for instance, will yield an approximate $30 to $40 per week, which is about $120 to $160 per month. Depending on your country, it might be an insignificant amount of money, but it's still a decent boost to your yearly income. Without mentioning higher ranks that can yield up to $800 per month, but that's a different story.

$120 to $160 per week is almost a 1 month salary for an underpaid employee in my country.  And these underpaid system is very rampant in a developing country.
