Tick Box
Sometimes, it is necessary for us to put ourselves into categories. This may be frustrating, we may not know where to place ourselves.

Without having an efficient amount of money, it will be very hard to live a life of abundance.

Millennials and the Sharing Economy
Sharing your life with strangers is an important part of building the economy. The sharing economy involves freelance work often facilitated by a larger company that can choose who works for them, and sometimes supervises transactions between customers and workers. Companies such as Uber, Lyft, and Airbnb, which encourage the social economy, have become very popular recently. With the rise of the internet, and advancements in app development, the ability to do freelance work is at an all-time high. The sharing economy comes more naturally to younger generations, because of the fact that they have grown up always having the internet. It is also a point in time for generations, typically Millennials, and the earlier members of Generation Z, that they may not be completely settled into the job they ideally want, and they probably do not have complete financial stability, so being able to easily make money while working another job, or studying in college is appealing to them. When thinking about anything, you should always consider both the benefits, and the detriments, especially when it comes to the economy. The most prominent argument people have against the sharing economy is that it is taking us away from more traditional businesses, however, there is always going to be a demand for both. I strongly believe that the sharing economy is improving the economy as a whole.

Gig Workers VS Independent Contractors
Many companies require the services of outside personnel to complete jobs and tasks, or to get the job done. Traditionally, such personnel have been known as independent contractors. The gig industry, including companies such as Uber and Lyft, provide different types of services from similar types of service providers. In today's economy, it has become necessary to define contractors and gig workers, subsequently distinguishing between the two.
