I made $39,500 flipping a house at 16 while my friends were working at ice cream parlors and golf shops​

  • Phoebe Grier, now 18, flipped a home during her high school summer break.
  • She used a hard-money loan and got financial help from her father as well as a private investor.
  • Grier made a profit of $39,500 — she saved some, donated some, and bought a car.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Phoebe Grier, 18, who flipped a home in the Twin Oaks neighborhood of Lexington, Kentucky when she was 16. She used her father's credit to secure a hard-money loan through Backflip, a platform that helps residential real-estate investors find, analyze, and finance projects. The conversation was edited for length and clarity.

50-year-old’s side hustle brings in $117,000 a month, he works 1 day a week on it: I can ‘set my own schedule’​

Four days per week, nurse anesthetist Mike O’Dell spends his 10-hour shifts sitting in a swivel chair shoved between pieces of towering, whirring operating equipment. He can’t use the bathroom, grab lunch or sip water without asking someone to cover for him, he says.

Running his side hustle, Oklahoma City-based quilting company Legit Kits, offers the opposite experience. One day per week, O’Dell enjoys a cup of coffee on his patio and drives his kids to school before starting work, he says.

“I can eat breakfast, I can go to the gym. I set my own schedule,” says O’Dell, 50.

I'm a boomer who didn't want to return to the corporate world after sailing the Pacific and traveling in an RV. Freelancing was the answer.​

  • Melissa Harlow quit her job to travel with her husband.
  • She made a career pivot to voice-over work after trying to sell boats.
  • She has worked with some big names, loves that she can be there for family, and still has time to travel.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with 62-year-old freelancer Melissa Harlow. It's been edited for length and clarity.
Before I freelanced, I was the manager of the home caregiver department at our local trauma center and medical center.

It was probably the best job I've ever had.

I was at my job for about a year. Most of my career was in nonprofit.

My husband and I had planned to travel for a couple of years. I knew that I was going to have to quit my job.

We made a bunch of micro goals — selling our belongings by this date, paying off all of our debt by this date, having a boat by this date, and finishing our sailing lessons by this date. We bought the boat in early 2015, and I resigned in December 2015.

How I Built a $100K Portfolio from Nothing​

Jun 6, 2025
Oftentimes when people talk about how to build wealth, they assume you have a high income, can save half your paycheck, max out retirement accounts, own properties, and have a side; however, the truth is most people are barely making it. Reaching $100,000 invested is not as easy as cutting out lattes or delivering pizzas. Despite that, it is still possible. In this video, I share how I invested $100,000 on an average income. Let's go mis amigos!!!!!!!!

I’m a financial therapist: This common issue can lead to a ‘fear of success’—here’s how to handle it​

I started working in finance as a bank teller when I was 21 years old. Surrounded by ambitious colleagues and wealthy clients, I was inspired to take more control of my money.

I learned everything I could, picking up books about financial education, building my credit and focusing on my savings. I did not grow up with money, and for a long time, I thought that homeownership wasn’t in the cards for me. But thanks to my work and dedication, I bought a house at 26.

It was a major milestone, but it also triggered something I didn’t expect: financial trauma. Financial trauma is an emotional, psychological response that stems from any event or experience that has negatively affected your relationship with money.

This realization, and the work I did afterwards, was what inspired me to become a financial therapist. I wanted to do everything I could to help others in the same boat.
