    I gotcha. Yes, you're right. While I would like to replace my high salary, my aim is to cover my monthly expenditures, with a little wiggle room. I've only ever worked for the government doing cybersecurity and software testing. Finding clients would be a stretch, but not undoable. Are Google...

    My side hustle is tax overages. I call people to inform them that the government owes them money. The hard part is getting them understand that it's not a scam.

    @heysander thank you for your response. I eventually want to be an entrepreneur. My side hustle is in tax overages. I want that to replace my 9-5 once I'm able to get back on my feet.
