It has always been emphasized and individual shouldn't dwell or rely only on one source of income. Relying only on one source of income is just like an individual who put all his or her eggs in one basket, and if the basket should get trampled on or falls down from a cliff, all of them can get broken and damaged at the same time, but to prevent this, he or she must separate the eggs thereby putting them into different baskets, so that if one basket should get damaged, at least the other basket still in good condition can remedy the matter. Basically we are trying to say that an individual shouldn't have only one source of income, and that does not mean that if an individual has a regular nine-to-five job or business, he or she needs to look for or establish another regular nine-to-five job or business. Instead having a side hustle coupled with your original and present source of income could be the best and greatest idea.

Having a side hustle doesn't have to be so hard, because the Internet is filled with so many microjobs websites and platforms, in which individuals like you and I can totally indulge ourselves in order to get paid reasonably and comfortable, even more preferably than our original source of income. Affiliate marketing, freelancing, graphic designing, report and article writing, report and article translating, product reviewing, application reviewing etc. Are exactly services and privileges provided by online microjobs free of charge.
 
It is true that people should have multiple sources of income and the benefit and Importance of this is something that cannot be over said. When you have so many source of income, you are in a state whereby your income will in one way or the other augment each other.

And a harm that having just one job has especially if it is not a job that pays you enough to take care of your needs is that you will have to struggle with settling your bills and taking care of all your basic needs. When you don't make enough in your single job, the presence of another side hustle will generate more funds that will augment the deficit which was acquired from the shortage of income from your other job.

Another harm is that once you lose such a job, your entire income will stop and this won't be the case if you have another job or side hustle.
 
Relying on one source of income can be a risky proposition, especially if that source is unstable or unreliable. With only one source of income, you are vulnerable to fluctuations in the market or the economy, or changes in the company or industry you may work in. You have little control over the income you can expect, and a sudden reduction or elimination of your source of income can leave you struggling to make ends meet.

The lack of diversification in your income can also limit your ability to save for the future. Having multiple sources of income can give you a cushion of stability in case one source of income is reduced or eliminated. This can help you stay ahead of bills, build an emergency fund, and even plan for retirement.

The path to financial freedom is often dependent on having a diversified income that you can rely on. Creating multiple income streams gives you the flexibility to pursue your goals and dreams. You have more options and freedom to pursue your passions and do the things you love.

It is important to remember that relying on one source of income is not necessarily a bad thing. If your source of income is reliable and consistent, you can still achieve financial stability. But it is important to have a backup plan in case of a sudden change in your source of income. Having multiple sources of income can provide you with the security and flexibility to make long-term plans and reach your financial goals.
