Do you have a side hustle? Dangerous Dave talks about a poll that says even people making over $100,000 per year are getting in on side gigs and look at what the money is for. Plus, how many times per day do you look at your email an do you look at it on vacation?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is deeper in the den with dangerous date. I
don't know if this is going to make you feel better,
but times are tough right now for some people, even
if you're making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
A new report asks people why they have side gigs.
Twenty nine percent said they need extra income to cover
basic expenses, eleven percent said it was to pay off debt,

(00:20):
eleven percent to have more financial freedom, ten percent to
save for a specific goal, and nine percent are pursuing
a passion or testing a new career path. Here's the
interesting thing. Those percentages didn't fluctuate much whether you're making
twenty thousand dollars a year or two hundred thousand dollars
a year. Among people making one hundred thousand dollars or more,
twenty five percent said they have a side hustle for

(00:43):
extra money for basic expenses, eight percent for specific goals,
seven percent to pay off debt, and ten percent to
have more financial flexibility. So apparently, if you're making five
hundred grand, you still might need to deliver for door
dash because you know that yacht ain't going to maintain itself.
In the two did you start your week? By cleaning
out your inbox or or did you do it over

(01:05):
the weekend. A new poll of working adults, ninety three
percent of us check our email every day, including eighty
eight percent to check it even when they're on vacation.
Guilty is charged. Only six percent don't check it every day.
Checking it once a day isn't very common. Forty two
percent said three to five times a day, twenty eight
percent ten to twenty times, nineteen percent check it more

(01:25):
than twenty times a day, and eight percent said just once.
All that time in your inbox adds up weekdays. Thirty
five percent said we spend less than an hour reading
and responding to emails every day, Thirty percent said about
an hour, seventeen percent two hours, and eighteen percent five
hours each day on email. That's a lot. Only one
in five people open all their emails. Twenty one percent

(01:47):
said they'll open it no matter what, even if they
might think it spam. And by the way, if it
gets sent to spam, they might never see it. Twenty
four percent of people said they never checked their spam folder.
I do only when somebody says I sent you an email,
didn't you? Did you get it well? Even my computer
knew it was nonsense. To me again for another episode
