Earlier this week brought the end of January, as well as the conclusion of the first month with a reduced blogging workload. I have to tell you, I didn’t realize just how much of my time it was taking up until I was able to back off a little due to the promotion and raise received within my full time career. I had been redlining for a couple of years, and it feels GREAT to have a couple of evenings each week where I don’t do any blogging at all. As a result, my stress level has plummeted.
They say money can’t buy happiness, but a larger number at the top of the budget sheet sure makes it easier to enjoy life.
Fist pump for happiness, and for my favorite posts of the week!

I understand about being time crunched. I’m trying to figure out and juggle a schedule with my new full time gig. You can never get your time back. Enjoy the freedom and the last NFL game for awhile.
I enjoyed the game……I don’t think it’ll hit me until Sunday rolls around and there’s no football on!
Great to hear that you are able to back off blogging a bit. I think side hustles are great but it’s always good to focus on your primary income first. Sometimes one promotion can make up a ton of side hustle income. And thanks for mentioning Erin’s post!
I know many people would like blogging to be their primary career, and dream of working for themselves exclusively. I’m not one of those guys – it’s a side hustle, and that’s where it’s gonna stay!
