If like me you don't want to cut back your spending and enjoying buying new clothes, shoes, gadgets, music and films etc then what you really need is to not reign in your spending but earn some guilt free money! Simple keep spending and earn extra money, with this equation you will be wealthier and beat the dreaded credit crunch / recession.
The temptation to shop is everywhere at the moment because of the increased special offers and super deals. Bringing great value to the people is what Hottest Offers is all about, I recently brought a new Dell XPS M17330 Laptop through Hottest Offers and saved £270 from the original price! This great value shopping is better then ever and the bargains are bigger then before too.
So to help top up your savings (just in case things do get a little rocky in the future) you need to earn some spare cash. If you have ever thought or discussed getting spare cash most people suggest buying a lottery ticket or joke about walking the streets. know one ever thinks or says about obvious practical ways to bring in spare cash. Even if it is a few pound notes. People forget that good old fashioned hard work is what's needed and not sitting around moaning or visiting the governments benefits system.
So how about getting active and trying some old fashioned hard work to get extra cash. Try and work out the jobs that people in your area would pay for and think about the time of year and if this changes the demand. At the moment the weather is dark and cold, people would rather pay about £6 - £12 to get their car washed then do it by hand in the cold weather but this is also a good job in the summer as people like to show off their cars in the sunshine.
For Spring and Summer odd jobs you could help a neighbour and cut their hedge or grass. Other jobs that you could do would be running errands, taking dry cleaning to the cleaners, buying a paper or lottery tickets, putting bins out, house work such as ironing or cleaning and washing up. You could also grow your own fruit and vegetables and trade these with a friend for variety. How about dog walking, shoe shinning, a paper round, peeling potatoes for a local restaurant or cleaning reachable windows? These are just a few ideas of how you could make some spare cash while helping out people in your community. So start offering a useful service and you will soon have enough pocket cash to help out with finances.
Good luck and have fun. |
