Looking For a New Side Gig?
Weird money is still money
Here at The Penny Hoarder, we use the word "gig" a lot. You’ve probably noticed. But have you ever wondered where the word comes from? The origin of the word gig, referring to a temporary or side job, dates back to the 1920s jazz scene in America. Stick that in your brain’s trivia file.
If you’ve been hanging around us long, you know that we consider ourselves side-gig-ologists. Over the years, we’ve shared with you sweaty side gigs, side gigs for single parents, remote side gigs, high-paying side gigs and more.
