Social Security, disability, retirements, 401 K's ~ our paycheck is dipped into and a little bit goes here and a little bit goes there.... and then ~ you need it.... but the cost of living has increased 3x's what you expected.
So what you end up getting is 'just enough' if your lucky ~ to 'get by'.
Many of us have 'side gigs' or 'hobbies' or second jobs that help add to the income. Direct sales has helped supplement our income, as well as 'affiliate links'. There are many ways to earn a 'few extra bucks'. You don't have to gamble away your savings hoping to 'hit it big'.
Pennies add up...
If your worried about your bank account, get PayPal. Send your 'extra' earning to the PayPal account. Watch it grow. It's going to be a slow process, I'm not saying this is a 'get rich' overnight plan.
No, I'm sharing a way to get a little bit extra, to help you get from one check to the next. Who knows, a few people have actually 'hit it big'...
Another great way to enjoy life and get paid for it, is to 'mystery shop'. Becoming a professional customer service evaluator can actually lead to a good 'extra income'. I've made almost $1000 in a month just mystery shopping. It was a 'busy' month. But I did it to see if it could be done and yes it can.
I personally was connected to over 25 companies that employ mystery shoppers or professional inspectors. I would accept jobs and schedule my shops with various companies so that I could earn the most from the day.
An example would be ~ getting up and doing a FRED MEYERS grocery shop, then over to SAFEWAY for a quick shop there. Stop by BROWN BEAR and get the car washed on my way to the mall to stop by T MOBILE and inquire about new phones, stop at AUNTIE ANNES for a pretzel and drink. Shop and return at a couple HIGH END RETAILERS. Make a small purchase at another shop in the mall, then it's off to the theater to WATCH A MOVIE and finally a stop at DAVE AND BUSTERS for dinner.....
Yes, every CAPPED title in that paragraph earned me money. That day was about $150.00 profit. Just a few years ago.
I'm older now, I still do PRICE AUDITS at ROSS for $20 and get $25 to have my car washed at BROWN BEAR. I can't give up those two..... My health has prevented me from running from morning to night, so I've had to look for alternative ways to make ends meet. I have medical and mental complications so life has become more challenging.
I have always been affiliated with a direct sales company since I was 15. There is always a few extra bucks there to be made. From Avon to Tupperware. Weekend events during summer months and winter holidays are always fun as well. Now, with the internet and social media, I've learned to rely more on affiliate links and on line sales.
