I talk about traveling a lot. In fact, one of the biggest drivers for me to make money is so we can spend it on travel. What about you? Do you have any upcoming travel plans?

Stealing this from a Reddit post I saw this morning—what’s the best money you ever made from a one-off thing? Like flipping something, hitting a trend at the right time, taking advantage of a loophole? I’ve got three off the top of my head: 1. Got paid $800 to fill out a questionnaire and click buttons on a computer for an hour. Clinical trial at Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore, 2014. 2. Put $250 into a meme coin and flipped it for $2,000 the next morning. 2021. 3. Some of the Upwork gigs I had at the end of 2024 and beginning of 2025. First one that comes to mind is $1,000 for home page copy that took me 1.5 hours, but didn’t wind up turning into a long-term project…because the client got banned from Upwork. What about you?
