[NEONRACERR]

I'm looking for ways to make some extra money myself.

not yet speaking from experience, but I have bookmarked tons of places where you get paid to write articles, paid to post, that sort of thing.  I intend to explore that end of things when my life slows down a bit next month.  petsitting works well too, as said above.  hang in there!

Plasma donation is another thing you might be able to do. I'm allergic to bees so I did this screening test at this one company that pays $100  per donation for allergic people. Of course if I don't qualify then there is always regular plasma donation that pays $25 or so a pop, do that twice a week and that is more than enough for me to buy groceries for myself.

My GF and I are going through the same thing. Rent is expensive, job pay is not enough to live on and finding a 2nd job is hard to come by. I haven't done *bleep* Shops, but we have cut our budget as much as possible, and usually by generics whenever possible.

Replace those standard light bulbs with florescent bulbs, they cut down a lot on power if you replace them everywhere and keep your lights off in rooms that you aren't in. Don't run the A/C or heat and limit showers to 5 minutes. Also keep everything turned totally off when not in use, keeping your dvd player, game consoles, and tv plugged in to an outlet still drains power even when they aren't turned on. At night we have that outlet turned off totally so it doesn't drain power.

Also when shopping for groceries, create a game plan when shopping and make sure to load up on stuff that is on sale at stores in your area, rather than just going to 1 store. Try www.couponmom.com it helps show you deals in your area. Buying sale items adds up to a lot of savings during the year. I also bought a water filter for my sink and it saves me a ton of money every month, since I just drink purified tap water rather than spending a ton on bottled water.

Hope some of that helps. GL

Hi there I know how you feel I have had to look everywhere I currently do a couple survey sites, babysit,clip coupons I always buy generic I think name brand items are a waste of money. I will buy name brand if it is a better quality or it's on sale.

When I started looking for ways to make money it was during the cold months and I was doing a lot of knitting and crocheting so I decided to start selling what I made and did ok with it I just don't like to knit during the hotter months and living in California that's not easy lol

That's the reason I'm here, to get money!!!

Rummage sale if I have time to do one. They are a lot of work for sometimes a little money. I have tried Ebay but no luck. Must be the type of item that I am selling. It is hard to earn extra money in today's world.

As I am still a minor, mowing lawns has provided me with plenty of extra cash.

Work for neighbors. Thats what i do

If you don't let your pride get to you, shoveling snow is a great way to earn some extra cash. No taxes, cash right after, and I was earning about $15/hour with my buddies the past couple years. A lot of people (i.e. the elderly, two working parents) actually need it done badly and are happy to pay someone to do it.
