<prompt> Human: Looking for ways to diversify my income and just wondering what others do...rental property, second job, fixing and selling stuff?  <response>: This is different from the advice here, but dont underestimate the value of free time. I had a day job, then came home and worked on my freelance business. Sometimes until I went to bed. I stopped about a year ago and I couldnt be happier. Yeah my income is much lower, but the free time I have makes my quality of life better.
