Before jumping into these money-making tips, here are a couple things to keep in mind.
First, these tips are aimed at helping you make money fast. They are
NOT going to make you rich. One or two tips should earn you an extra
$50-100 over the next week. Implement all the tips, and you could see a
couple hundred dollars added to your bottom line. But do not expect
quick riches.
Second, you need some planning and a few days to work with. That planning should include ways to start saving money.
If you are in a situation where you need quick cash today, then
you're in a crisis -- and you probably need to borrow money from
friends, relatives, a bank, or (last resort) a fast cash outlet. This
article is aimed at those who have at least a few days (preferably a
week) to work with.
At the time of this article being published, the economy is in
turmoil. A deep recession is certain. Worse is possible. It's time to
stop borrowing money. No more debt.
Your priority is to create a positive cash flow each and every
month. That means you must spend less money than you take in. Your
income must exceed your expenses. So, until you can increase your
income, you must decrease your expenses to put yourself in the black
each month.
Some ways to save money include:
- Eat more at home.
- Pack your lunch for work.
- Cut back on your driving, and that probably means cutting back on your extracurricular activities.
- Consider downgrading or even eliminating your cable or satellite TV
- Coupons, coupons, coupons
Cut back on your monthly expenses. You'll see how this alone can put more money in your pocket.
