👍 Worth It
This one flips the usual debt-book script by focusing on earning more instead of just cutting back, with real people's side-hustle stories to back it up — a nice complement if you've already trimmed your budget to the bone. Some of the gig-platform specifics will feel a little dated by now, but the core strategy still holds; Richard Powers' narration is professional and easy to follow.
