New Delhi, June 8 -- I earn Rs.10 LPA from my salary. I got married last year; he earns Rs.12 LPA. We manage well because we don't have any loans even though we do have personal EMIs.

But, lately, I feel like expenses are getting higher. I'm wondering if a side hustle truly makes financial sense. I can manage a couple of hours in the evening. I don't want to turn my hobby into a business. I want to do what already works in the market. I asked ChatGPT for help.

I want ChatGPT to act as a personal finance strategist, labour economist, side-business analyst and household wealth planner.

Help me decide whether adding a side income stream is financially sensible, realistically achievable and worth the trade-offs.

Please assume:

I am askin...
