That small amount can help you with your needs. Just imagine your salary is just enough for bills then you have a side hustle and that is for your daily food. Even if you earn $5 daily as a side hustle or below it can still be used to buy some food to survive on a day. Always be thankful for it because others have dreamed of them having side hustles and even finding them but still they haven't gotten lucky enough to find one.
Side hustles are really important now because of the high prices and because our salary is not enough. I am lucky to have a side hustle which helps us with our food and other needs and our main salary is for bills.
Money becomes very important when it is scarce, which is why I say that we need to focus on money at the very beginning, to make you feel secure, so that you always have a reserve of cash that will give you that peace of mind. After all, in this case, little will change for you, you will still work, earn money, make plans and achieve your goals, but at the same time you will not need to walk on the edge and worry that you will not have anything to buy food for tomorrow. Once you have savings, you can move forward with peace of mind about your finances.
You will really feel secured which I want to experience in the future as right now there are still tons of needs to pay and also salary is not enough. Most of us really want to have savings but the problem is that it won't allow us because of our income. Others may say that even a small amount is still savings which is true but still by the end of the month we can still get it because we need money.
When you're already financially stable like you already have extra money after paying bills and buying our needs then that is the time you'll save because you'll be tempted at that time to buy your wants.
