What if your computer could make money while it just sits there? In this episode of the Building Financial Fitness podcast, Mel Tan joins me to explore the fun and surprising ways people are turning idle tech into income in 2025.

Gone are the crypto mining boom days, but new platforms like Vast.ai and Salad now let you rent out your GPU power, while freelancing sites offer quick gigs for those with high-end hardware. We also chat about side hustles like online research tasks and even mobile games that pay. Some ideas sound too good to be true, others are refreshingly practical—but all of them show how your gadgets can start working for you.

If you’ve ever wondered whether that spare PC could cover your next kopi or even more, this episode is for you.
