Sure ways to bring in a little extra money each month!!!!!!!

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1
RECYCLE!!!!! In California the refund rate is 5 cents per container, In Michigan, 10 cents. Set up a recycle bag at your job and have your fellow employees give you their empty cans or bottles and watch your wallet grow.
Step2
Put your savings into a high yield saving account. At 4.3% interest, $10'000 will earn you over $1.00 a day or $430 a year!!!!!!!!! Most online banks pay monthly so you see results quickly.
Step3
Pay off your credit cards.....At 17% interest, 1000 dollars turns into over 1100 by the end of the year, and it isn't yours.
Step4
Take full advantage of employer matches for 401k and Employee stock purchase. Most employers match a certain percentage up to the first 6%. This is free money that you are passing on if you don't do it.
Step5
Cancel that unused gym membership...If you don't go to the gym at least twice a week, you are wasting your money. Call and quit today and opt for at home excersise equipment instead.

Tips & Warnings

  • Living below your means is the only sure way to get ahead. Anytime you have a raise pretend it didn't happen and save it. If you could survive before it happened, you can survive after.
