The words "make extra money" have become so very real to me in the past few weeks. Having had lost most of my income because the semester is over and with it my jobs, I am now in a position where those three words are probably what I think of the most during my days.

Thankfully, there are opportunities out there and where there is a will, there is a way. If you are feeling down or low because you have no dough, checkout some of these ideas on how to make extra money in your life.

How to Make Extra Money - Some Ideas

  • Collect your change - Today I went to the local store to dump about a half-gallon of change into the change machine. I expected it to be about $40-$50, but in the end I got over $100! It is amazing how change can pile up and if we don't use it we lose it. Keep yours organized and one day you will need it.
  • Work a part-time cash job - there are so many odd jobs out there for people that you can do for a few days and just get some cash. Look them up on Craig's list or local postings, and you are bound to make extra money in a short amount of time with no commitment.
