Comment on Ask HN: Do you have an unusual income source

Comments

I teach some music private lessons and play jazz gigs. An easy side hustle that should require not more than 10 years of work for a couple of hours a day to qualify if you apply yourself. You could be a hundredaire! :-)

"Jazz Musician": someone who puts a $10000 horn in a $1000 car to play a $100 gig

Can confirm, have made hundreds from playing music after four years of several hours a day. Still probably only made 25% the cost of instrument and strings though.

After 30 years I've made thousands! Of course, the collection of instruments and their respective value goes up on the same line, sooo.... ;-)

The most annoying part is having to declare everything properly on the tax returns even when its peanuts. sigh.
