I Made $10K in 100 Days with These Work-From-Home Side Hustles

Purposeful Living

Jackie Mitchell exemplifies intentional living by balancing work, financial goals, and personal enjoyment. She and her husband focus on saving money by cooking at home and engaging in side hustles they enjoy, such as participating in focus groups. Mindy Jensen highlights their mindset, noting, "They don't feel like they're giving things up. They like cooking at home. They see how much they're saving versus their friends who aren't cooking at home."

Live like no one else now, so you can live like no one else later.

This approach allows Jackie to contribute more towards her mortgage, aligning with her goal of achieving financial independence 1.

   

Value Choices

Jackie's financial decisions are guided by long-term happiness rather than immediate satisfaction. She prioritizes retirement contributions and mortgage payments while also saving for grad school, a future car, and travel. Scott Trench inquires about her financial strategy, to which Jackie Mitchell responds, "We are taking our matches because that to us is free money. And then beyond that, we're contributing."

We don't spend a lot day to day. We don't spend a lot month to month. And we're pretty boring. We eat every meal at home and we like to do things for free.

--- Jackie Mitchell

This disciplined approach allows her to save effectively while enjoying occasional splurges on travel 2.
