We’ve all been in those situations at least once in our lives where money is tight and some extra income would really help us out. Here are a few unique ways in which you can get some cash in your hand quickly and easily…
1.Babysit.
Whether you’re a parent or not, you can still watch other people’s kids for money! Websites like Care.com and Sittercity.com have tons of job postings of parents desperate for a night out or some help a few hours a week- offer to take care of the child in your own home, or venture to their’s. It can be a great way to earn extra money when you need it, and say no when you don’t.
2. Drive Uber
The great thing about Uber and Lyft is that you make your own schedule. If you’ve been thinking about it, give it a try. Setting up is fairly easy and you can actually make great money in your free time.
3. Get a title loan.
What is a title loan, anyway?
And what are the benefits?
A title loan is a loan through a lender using the title of your car that is quick, easy, and secure. Instead of having to go through a long process of tons of paper work to secure a loan, you can use your car as collateral to get some extra cash in as little as 15 minutes.
Finding a local lender is fairly easy, a simple search such as title loans Dallas will bring up a list of great resources.
So what are the advantages to a title loan?
- Secured loan
- As soon as the loan is repaid, the lien is lifted and the title is returned to the car owner
- You can still drive your car while the loan is in effect
- Super quick transactions- some in as little as 15 minutes!
- Usually don’t need to give any credit score information
- You can go in-person to the lender and fill out an application or go to the lender’s website and fill out a financial online title loan application form.
4. Have a garage sale
Hosting a garage sale can be some work, but think about how great it will feel to get some junk out of your house and make some money in the process! Really go through and get rid of things you don’t use- your house and your wallet will thank you. Anything of large value can be sold on Craigslist to really get all the value out of it.
5. Walk dogs
It’s a thing. People nowadays LOVE their dogs and hate to think of them at home all day without getting some fresh air. It’s great exercise, gets you out of the house, and you can make some extra money all at the same time!
6. Spend less!
Get out your calculator and really go through your budget. Did you really need that new table when the old one was just fine? Can you get by with shopping at Goodwill instead of the mall? Spend less money and enjoy more of your time without worrying about paying bills.
