So right now, I’m working on breaking into the career field I want but in the meantime just working a full time job. I was hoping to get more overtime but they’ve basically told me that the factory is slow and not to expect overtime until like September.

I get bombarded with this clickbait things that are like “8 ways to earn extra money this month!” and then it tells you to like play bingo on your phone for money. If those lists were meant to be real instead of ads, what kinds of things would be on them? What can a working person do to say make $500 a month apart from just getting a second job?

    sell plasma, get another roommate.

    anything else legitimate is second job or equivalent time and effort. busking, babysitting, shoplifting etc.

    all those gig economy things can convert some equity you have in a car into cash in hand but that's not likely to be positive in the long term.

      Yeah I’m thinking about selling plasma, have done so in the past and it wasn’t bad, just notnot something I want to do long term or all the time.

      We wouldn’t be able to fit another roommate. I’ve actually reduced my rent and other expenses to as low as I can reasonably get them, so the only other thing I can change is bringing in more money somehow.
