Finally hit my goal of a $500 emergency fund after 6 months of side gigs

Last week I checked my savings account and saw it hit $512, which felt amazing. I started back in January delivering food a few nights a week after my main job. It was tough some weeks, especially when it was cold or rainy. But putting that extra $20 or $30 straight into a separate account really added up. Has anyone else found a specific side hustle that worked well for building a small safety net?

Honestly, that's a ton of work for just a few hundred bucks.

Wait, a few hundred? I saw a post where they wanted someone to redo an entire website for like $300. That's at least 40 hours of work if you do it right. You'd make more money flipping burgers.
