Are you at that stage in your life where everything looks weirdly pathetic? Or are you someone who looks around notices the weird and the pathetic but has a plan to do something about it? Guess there are two types of people out there (a mix of both too) who are in a state of panic as to how they can get by with limited earnings. Here are a couple of ways to get extra cash that will not intrude in your daily grind.
- The share market is a wonderful place to dabble in, once you learn the nuances because you get to make a lot of moolah in a favorable market.
- If you have anything of value at home and you need that cash, dude it is time to get rid of the stuff. There are various places to sell them online and through word of mouth. Just make sure that you stipulate your mode of payment as cash only or vide a banker’s check and make sure you do not get stiffed.
- Do you perhaps have some investments lying about that you have not looked at for a while? Perhaps it is time to dig into the books and find that piece of paper and encash it, like super fast!
- If you are really in the dumps and have jewellery worth a sizeable amount, you can hock it or sell it at a reliable shop in the area. Most of the big time retailers take details of the seller i.e. name, contact number and address. This is to make sure that the merchandise is not stolen, so don’t get the knickers in a knot about this, just rules that must be followed.
- Organize a garage sale and sell the stuff that has value and not crappy stuff, as you will never get what you want at all. Just be careful because many people stroll by and there is a tendency to put small stuff in their pockets. Vigilance pays, big time on your ways to get extra cash.
- If you have maxed out your credit card and getting a secure loan is impossible, perhaps, (if you are in a job) you can avail of the payday loans. Just remember that the interest is rather high, and can be compounded further if the payment is not done within the agreed time.
- Start something in your free time like babysitting, dog walking, making cupcakes, take in a boarder, etc.
Some of the ideas above may strike your fancy and if you are going through a bad time, it is best to cut your losses from items that you can make money out of rather favorably. It is sad, when you have to sell something that you love, that is putting it mildly, but since this is important, forget the emotions and get on with life. You can always buy stuff later on when the tide turns in your favor. One thing that really works that not many follow is to stash the coins away probably in a piggy bank, and when you need it, presto it is there to help you in a bad situation. Another thing, remember do not lose hope, because even if everything looks bleak, there are ways out.
Try out different options and make a difference in the finances. No matter how difficult things get, there are ways out of the mess with easy-breezy ideas that are workable.
