My debt was going through the roof when I was going through my divorce and my debt out weighed my income. Even though I was able to make the minimum payments there was no way I was going to get those maxed out credit cards paid off unless a started slapping more money towards them.
I began to sell everything from my Cd's to parts of my Star Wars collection to pay more than the minimums on my bills. Also, I joined forces to with family members to have garage sales to even sell some of my furniture.
Almost immediately I took on a second job cleaning the local YMCA, as well. I would work my full time job at the bank from 8:30 to 5:30, come home and have dinner, take a three hour nap, and then go work at the YMCA from 9:30 to 2:00. I worked at the YMCA six days a week and I worked that routine for an entire year. So what can you do to make extra money?
STEP # 13
The suggestions I have just offered should be just the minimum of the things you can do to make extra money. Any of these should be easy to associate with money saving ideas that you can put into your game plan. Think about how you can make extra money. One way may be getting rid of an unneeded vehicle. It may enable you to raise some serious cash to put towards some of your debts and reduce your monthly expenses. As I suggested early a yard or garage sale can help you get rid of the clutter around the house and make money at the same time. I suggested it, but have you taken on a part time job? Check out your overtime options at work. Read the "part time" work ads in the classified sections of your local newspaper to find opportunities to make extra money.
If you really think about there are all kinds of ways to make extra money. You need to just get out there and do it.
