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??

It could be the future of work nowadays. People can already earn a living even staying at homes, and that's even more convenient especially for mothers so they can still monitor their kids at home.

However, talking about financial uncertainty, it does not matter whether you are doing side hustles or the opposite way. It all matters on the person itself whether he's more focused and consistent on saving up or investing, or he does not think of it anymore as long as his family able to survive day to day activities.

If you are doing freelancer jobs, you will be the one taking care of your healthcare and your retirement savings. Make sure you allocate some on these important aspect of your life because you will thank yourself later on for spending some of your earnings for this. As no one will take care of this but yourself, you need to include this in your budget.
