Let's be honest - if one more person suggests starting a Depop business or selling homemade jewelry, we might scream. Not everyone wants to spend their weekends thrifting or their nights packaging orders. But building wealth? That's still on the agenda.
The internet keeps pushing side hustles like they're the only way to financial freedom. But there's something to be said for building assets that work while you sleep - no packing orders required.
Here's what nobody's talking about: the demure way some girls are building their future. No courses to sell. No coaching programs. Just smart moves that compound over time.
