When I lost my job in 2008, I had to come home and tell Lori not only that news, but that our finances weren't in order and we were going to lose everything. It's one of those moments that scars you — you never forget it. We're going to relive one of the hardest moments of our lives because we think there's value to be found in that moment. It's less about breaking the news, itself, and more about assessing where you're at and deciding what to do with the information that you find.

This is not negotiable. It's important to build something that pays you when you're not working, instead of your income requiring a large investment of your time on an ongoing basis. Your financial goal should always be to get to the point where, if one of your income sources disappeared tomorrow, you would not have to change your lifestyle. Most people aren't there yet, but a passive side hustle — not a busy, time-consuming, expensive side hustle — is the way to get there.
