3 Ways To Make Fast Money

It’s not easy to keep your finances in check. In fact, half of Americans end up living paycheck to paycheck, so you’re not alone.

That being said, who couldn’t use some extra funds, especially with the holidays approaching? Extra costs might mean you need to make fast money to get through the end of the year.

Luckily, there are a few different ways to tackle such a challenge. Read on, and we’ll walk you through a few fast (and legal!) ways to make some quick money.

1. Work For An App

If you’re looking for part-time employment, there’s never been an easier time to get hired. There are a number of apps out there that do the work of combining people who need tasks done and people who are willing to do those tasks (in exchange for cash!)

The most obvious is TaskRabbit. If you sign up on TaskRabbit, you can make some extra bucks helping people do any number of chores. You might help put up a bookcase, get their groceries, or stand for them in line somewhere.

There’s also drive-share apps like Uber and Lyft you can sign up for. You’re probably familiar with these apps already, but from the passenger side. Giving rides is a great way to make some extra dough.

Or, if you love animals, look into dog-walking apps like Wag and make some extra money playing with four-legged friends. There are certainly worse ways to make a buck.

2. Sell Your Old Stuff

Life tends to accumulate, and the years pass we might realize we own things we have no use for anymore. Have an old record collection? Pawn it for cash. Equipment in your garage you no longer use? Have a garage sale.

No matter what you have in your home, there’s a good chance that someone out there will take it off your hands for a reasonable price. Not only is this a good way to make some extra money, but it can also declutter your home too!

“What about selling my house quickly for cash?” If you’re really in a pinch, selling your home is a quick way to make some hefty cash.

3. Tutor Students

Were you especially strong math or English student? An excellent test taker? You can put those skills to good use. There are many students out there struggling in a variety of subjects.

Parents are working to pay tutors who are good with their kids a pretty high amount, especially if students’ scores improve after a while.

If you feel like you can have a strong and model relationship with a student, this can be a great side hustle for fast cash.
