Three 30-Day Challenges That Will Actually Change Your Finances

"you won't necessarily be able to save thousands of dollars in a month especially if you don't make that much to begin with but you could gain some insights into your current spending habits and finances that can help you decide on longer term habits to work on"

"the best way to boost your savings and Investments is to start earning more but that's not necessarily something you can do in a 30-day challenge especially when you consider that the average job search takes between 3 and 6 months"

"focusing on just a 30-day side hustle challenge is meant to be temporary as a way to get a quick boost in savings and start building momentum or potentially find a new stream of income you could stick with in the long run to help you reach even more savings goals down the line"

"you're probably not going to magically save a bunch of money in a month again unless you already earn a fair amount and just cut out all of your spending for the month but focusing on one specific side hustle can help you determine whether it is worth your energy to stick with it and give you a solid idea of what kind of extra income in the long run is possible"

"while any 30-day challenge is not going to make you rich I do think setting out with a very clear intention can be very helpful for making changes to your mindset and habits going forward"
