I’ve had several side hustles over the years. You might think that is because none of them generated much money by themselves and therefore I needed more than one to make any real cash. The truth is, most of my side hustles have developed out of my personal interests and passions. Making money was just an extra bonus!

This led me to realize that following my passions and putting my efforts into a value-based side hustle could help me grow my retirement nest egg. I already have a job that I enjoy, but being able to make some extra money on the side while doing something fun is a great way to boost retirement savings!

I started down the herbal path years ago, when I surprised my husband by signing us up for a local introductory herb class. We both enjoyed being outside in the garden and the class sounded like something fun to do.

My husband and I liked to try new recipes, and we often experimented with herbs and spices. He had commented that our meals tasted so much more flavorful and looked more vibrant when we used fresh herbs from our garden.

The class we took was a lot of fun as it included a little about the folklore and history of herbs, gardening tips, delicious recipes, and lots of great herbal treats to eat. We chopped fresh basil and made pesto right in class!

The classroom smelled amazing, and I was hooked!

Little did I know that my new hobby would open up some fun ways to make extra money and help me catch up my retirement account . . . . .
