Are Texans Interested in Side Hustles to Survive in 2024?

As the price of everything but our paychecks go up there is always the struggle. Do you find a way to cut costs even more? Or do you try to find a way to make more money? You can try to go in and talk to the boss about making more money. We all know how that goes.

Unless you have a really cool and understanding workplace you are going to end up on the short end of that stick. You are lucky to have this great job. That is how they make you feel. They don't care how much more work has been dumped on you. These are tough times and they are feeling the pain too. Or at least that is what we hear.
