    Default Extra Money

    I remember seeing a thread of different ideas to make extra money, but now I can't seem to find it.
    Can you please share things that could earn extra money or that have worked for you? (Within the scope of the FV rules). I work technically full time (although I'm part time right now due to obnoxious amounts of rain and there's no roofing in the rain), and DH works part time and goes to culinary school part time.

    Things I've come up with:
    Yard sale
    Clothes in good condition to consignment shop
    Change jar
    Cleaning houses
    Washing cars
    Mowing yards
    Part time job

    I'm sure I'm not the only one that might benefit from sharing these ideas. TIA!

    If you want to work from home check out www.workplacelikehome.com
    also Liveops.com always seems to be hiring, you set your own schedule no minimum hours and you can make decent money if you hang in there.

    Sell book son half.com or ebay, or the marketplace at Amazon. My brother scavenges at yard sales and sells a few hundred a month.

    babysitting -- either for special occasions (New Year's Eve and 4th of July are biggies), sick kid sitting, mom's day out, etc.

    simple mending -- advertise for clothing repair for things like sewing on buttons, fixing hems, etc.

    If you live near a university, end of semester is a great time to raid dumpsters in married student housing for garage sale items. The foreign students returning overseas ditch most, if not all, of their furniture and such.
