$50K Side Hustle to FI

[Liz Boer]

Hi there, my husband and I recently discovered FI and are starting to make changes in our daily lives to start the journey to FI. Yay! Currently, we are evaluating a relocation to LA for me to take a new job to earn more income, save more, etc. My husband would have to stay in our current location due to his job, so we would commute back n forth on the weekends, and add a living expense..not ideal. The difference between me moving and not moving is about $50K. I am wondering if this wonderful community might be able to help me brainstorm ways to side hustle my way to $50K so that I can stay in our current location with him. 

Is it realistic to be able to make $50K from a side hustle my first year? I don't mind the hard work and I am willing to put the time in to get us there and not have to live in 2 locations but want to be realistic with my expectations. 

Thanks much.
