Side hustle experiment: dropshipping (don't do this lol)
Wasted 3 months and like $800 trying to start a side hustle while working full-time with two kids. I had this fantasy of making an extra $2k/month. Reality: I had no time, was exhausted constantly, and my margins sucked. Only sold 2 items. My wife basically had to threaten me to shut it down because I was grumpy all the time and not present with the kids. Just wanted to save you guys the trouble. If you're thinking about side money, pick something that doesn't require active inventory management lol.
What actually got you to pull the plug at 3 months? A lot of people keep throwing money at stuff like this because they've already sunk the 800.
