In recent years, many people have turned to side hustle freelancing, gig work and online businesses to supplement or replace traditional jobs. The rise of platforms like Uber and Etsy along with social media and e-commerce has made it easier than ever to earn independently. While this offers flexibility and additional income, it also raises concerns about job security, benefits and long-term stability.

Is the gig economy the future of work or does it create more financial uncertainty??

This use of spare time and spare resources to get the job done is good for the planet. Economically, environmentally and as availability of the service.
The thing that should concern people is the pensions which these jobs don't offer. There are many pension funds people can choose to contribute but the problem with people at young age is they don't seem to realize they are getting old soon. The moment they realize they need a pensions, they would have wasted their energetic life and money.
With the uncertain times ahead, people should be self aware and think of various ways of saving, investing and using the money.
