Money Matters Monday - extra income

We all could probably use a little extra cash flow.  Here are a few things we are doing around here to save a little and earn a little:

1. Stop eating out!  This is working rather well for us.  While we have not entirely cut it out, we have cut down considerably.  I would say we have saved about $350 this month by not eating out as much as we were doing.  

2.  Sell stuff!  We are in the process of selling an extra sofa and loveseat since we "inherited" a new sectional.  I have more items - clothes, art, knick knacks - that I plan on getting rid of soon.  Cleaning out the clutter seems to clear my mind.  And if I can't sell it, I will donate it and get a receipt from the thrift store for my tax file.  That adds up on your tax refund too.

3.  Tax refund!  If you have gotten your W-2s already, get started on filing those taxes.  I will be working on ours this weekend.  I'm hoping I can get a little back instead of having to pay more.

4.  Hubby got an extra job!  Hubby will start helping some friends at their sports training facility which will generate and extra $1000-$1200 per month.  It might even lead to better opportunities than what he's doing now.

5.  I'm building my business!  I have been a Rodan + Fields Independent Consultant for almost a year now and I have found a new way that works for me to promote my business.  I love the products so it should be fairly easy.  Hopefully I can generate $250-$500 extra a month to begin and build the business.   Check out my websites at www.jennifercharles.myrandf.biz or www.jennifercharles.myrandf.com

And that's about all I'm doing right now.  What do you do to generate a little extra cash flow?

Be blessed!
