The saying money doesn’t buy happiness is true in a sense, but in this economy, having extra money can vastly improve your mental health when you’re not worrying about how the bills will be paid and whether you can attend or participate in the hobbies you enjoy without going over your budget. Making extra money on the side of your part-time or full-time job is always a good idea, so here are some easy ways to score extra cash at your convenience: 

  • Become an online tutor for math, science, writing, music, or foreign languages
  • Deliver takeout with DoorDash or GrubHub
  • Deliver groceries with Instacart or Shipt
  • Drive for Lyft or Uber
  • Upload photos or videos to apps/websites like Foap and get paid when an agency, company, brand, or patron purchases the media
  • Take up babysitting or nannying 
  • Start pet sitting or dog walking
  • Become a blogger, youtuber or social media influencer 
  • Sell your gently used clothing or items on Facebook Marketplace, Resale Stores or Ebay
  • Become a freelance reporter or writer
