Maze of Debt Part 9

        Find ways to increase income

Make a little extra money to pay off a bills, build up your savings, and pay an upcoming expense?

Right now people are doing many things to create more income.  Here are just some of the ways you might be able to make a little extra money each month.  Any thing more will help increase your monthly cash flow and help you pay off all your debt in as little as 7 to 11 years and give you a $20,000 plus in tax free income at retirement.

1. Do you have CDs, tapes, furniture, books, and/or other items that you don't need? Turn them into cash. You can sell them on the Internet on one of the auction sites.  here are some: Ubid  Ebay yahoo

2. If you are able to make crafts this is something that can make you some extra money and keep you from going out and spending.  Do this as a family or by yourself and relax.  Then sell these online, and craft shows.  Look at this list of craft shows in IL alone

3. You might be able to provide a service that other people would pay for. Some common jobs are to babysit, shovel snow, run errands, clean windows, and many other small things that do not take much time, but people hate to do.. Do you have special skills? You could get paid to translate, be a tutor, type, paint, or repair items. Even if you have a full-time job, you might be able to do enough of these things to make some extra money each week. Just one extra job a week that you get paid $50.00 on can make you some money.  Figure you only do one job a week that makes you $50.00 and you take 12 weeks off a year or can't find someone to pay you the $50.00  That is an extra $2,000 a year.  Now I know people can do this. 

4. Look for a part time job. You could deliver papers, deliver phone books, or work in a store.

5. You can make some extra money working from Home.  These jobs have some huge benefits.  You have some tax saving that come from these like no other tax savings.  Here are just some of these.  Savingshighway alows you to save money by helping other make money.  Ambit Energy is allowing people to make money off of energy deregulation and saving people money  Yuwie is an online social network that aloows people to make money just by looking at other people pages and meeting people  These are just three.  There are many more out there too.

6. You might get paid for taking part in a research study at a hospital or a college. Some marketing companies pay people to share their thoughts about a certain product or service as part of a focus group. My wife and I do this.  It is fun and sometimes they even feed you. 

 7. If you work, check your last three years' income taxes to make sure you took all the deductions available to you. File an amended return if you find more deductions. Claim the Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Credit, and Child Care Credit if you are eligible.

8. Collect money that other people owe you, including child support. At your job try to work overtime, work toward a promotion, or ask for a raise. Use your job benefits.

Now watch out for the people that want to take advantage of you.  Do not spend money on things that seem to good to be true.  Have a goal in mind on how much extra you want to make and go for it.

These 8 ideas are just some of the ideas out there.  Think of what you can do.  I hope these 8 ideas make you think. If I can help you in anyway please ask.  It is my goal to help people get out of debt in less time and not rely on the other to take care of them in their retirement years.

Best to you.
