Most people get excited by the idea of earning extra money on the side while doing something in their main life or career. And many people online take advantage of this by selling false hope — which often does more harm than good.

The core idea of most side hustles is flawed, and here’s why.

Most people who start looking for side hustles are in their 20s. At that age, instead of focusing on long-term goals, they get attracted to the idea of quick and easy money with minimal effort. But once they start doing it, they realize how hard it really is — because what they call a “side hustle” is actually someone else’s full-time profession. This realization often leads to disappointment and demotivation.

And when you fail in a side hustle, it doesn’t just stop there. It can actually push you backward. You start doubting your abilities, lose focus on your main goals, and sometimes even give up on things that truly matter.

Another major problem is the pressure created by social media. Nowadays, people make you feel that if you don’t have a side hustle, you’re not doing enough or you’re not successful. This mindset is toxic — it forces people to chase validation instead of purpose.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
