THE ONE THING YOU’RE IGNORING THAT COULD HELP YOU SAVE MORE MONEY
Side Hustles and Gigs Home delivery services like Amazon Flex, DoorDash, and Instacart are growing exponentially right now. You can take advantage of this trend by becoming a delivery driver. Gig work allows you to make your own schedule and do as much or as little work as you want for as long or as short a time as you’d like. Note that many services require drivers to undergo a background check, have a valid license, and have their own car.

It’s natural to turn to penny-pinching to meet your savings goals because it often feels like you have more control over decreasing your expenses than you do over increasing your earnings. However, that’s not always the case. If you feel like you’ve already cut your budget to the bone but still aren’t saving enough, it might be time to shift your focus to the second method of saving money: earning more.

In fact, if you’re a reliable sitter, word-of-mouth advertising and referrals will likely keep steady work coming your way once you get established in your community. You can also up the ante by offering more: Get licensed in CPR and first aid if you’re a babysitter (or pet CPR and first aid if you’re a pet sitter). Classes can be found at RedCross.org.
If you’re serious about boosting your savings, it’s probably going to take a combination of both strategies, so don’t ignore your potential opportunities to bank more bucks. A quick online search asking “How can I make more money?” will turn up a plethora of lists with dozens of great options. Here are two popular categories to consider:
