Show Notes
If budgeting harder hasn’t changed your situation, this episode is for you.
In this kōrero, I break down realistic ways to increase your income in 2026 — starting with low-effort options that don’t require much time or skill, and moving all the way through to side hustles and starting a business.
We talk about income in layers, not hustle culture.
I share:
- simple ways to increase income quickly (like selling things you don’t need)
- how I saved my first $1,000 emergency fund by selling an iPad, handbags, and branded clothes
- low-time options like having a boarder or monetising what you already have
- skill-based income ideas that don’t require working more hours
- when side hustles make sense — and when they don’t
- why starting a business isn’t the goal, just one possible outcome
This episode is about matching income strategies to your real life, energy, and capacity — not doing more for the sake of it.
No “just work harder” advice. No overnight success stories. Just practical, grounded ways to earn more money without burning yourself out.
