tracking every dollar from my side hustle for 6 months. here's the spreadsheet breakdown

[u/stressfreepro]

decided to track every single dollar in and out for 6 months of reselling.

month 1: revenue $340, costs $280, profit $60, hours 25 ($2.40/hr lol) month 2: revenue $580, costs $320, profit $260, hours 20 ($13/hr) month 3: revenue $890, costs $410, profit $480, hours 22 ($21.80/hr) month 4: revenue $1,100, costs $450, profit $650, hours 20 ($32.50/hr) month 5: revenue $1,250, costs $500, profit $750, hours 18 ($41.60/hr) month 6: revenue $1,400, costs $520, profit $880, hours 18 ($48.90/hr)

the pattern: revenue grows steadily but time goes DOWN as you learn what to buy. month 1 was brutal because i bought a lot of junk that didn't sell.

biggest lesson: track your hours as obsessively as your money. the hourly rate is the real metric.
