So you want to save money but when you look at your finances the money you make just about covers your finances? Then you need to earn more. If your next raise is a long time away, then you need to find an alternative solution. The answer is secondary employment.
There are many options to make additional cash on evenings and weekends if you are looking to earn extra cash.
Car Sharing
Uber has broken the modern business model but it has opened up an incredible option to earn extra cash for anyone who drives. Spend some of your idle time driving and chatting with other people. It can be a fun job with an ok income level. You don’t have to jump through too many hoops to be certified either.
Fitness instructor
If you love keeping fit, why not help others too. While many jobs require a multi-year certificate, fitness is often a course conducted over a few weekends and you are ready to go. Most people who use personal trainers also work 9-5 jobs so they want their trainer in the early morning or in the evening, perfect for a little extra cash after work.
Proofreader
The online remote worker is a real thing. One task that is open to many is proofreading. People will pay for you to read their work and correct it. While the money earned is only ok it is easy work that you can do in the comfort of your home.
Bus Driver
Do you have to drop the kids to school every day and pick them up? Why not get paid to do it. As a bus driver, you still get to bring your kids to school, you just bring everyone elses’ as well!
Security guard
A lot of companies require night time security guards. The pay is usually very good to stay up all night and it is usually an easy job.
Bartender
If the role of the security guard is asking you to stay up a little late then maybe a bartender is more suitable. Often bars are looking for people just one or two busy nights a week. A great way to earn a little extra cash.
Tutor
A great way to earn extra money is by being a tutor. They charge high hourly rates and it is usually a fun job. If you have expertise in an area, pass on that knowledge!
Whatever you do be careful that you don’t burn out by overextending yourself. While it is great to earn a little extra money it is important to understand the value of free time. Don’t work every hour you are awake or you will start to hate life. If you hate life, what use is money?
