text: for those of you that have a side business or do freelancing in addition to your day job, is it worth it? my wife and i are in a money crunch and rather than get an extra part time job and work for someone else, i want to start a side business so i can be my own boss and set my own hours. do you recommend starting a side business? why or why not? do you have any tips on starting/running one? thanks. i have one, it is not exactly easy, but the costs are minimal and am making money.  write me if interested, wasdadd at yahoo.
