What do you do for extra/save money?

I'm a full time college student and also work 40 hours a week. I pay for my truck and also pay for my motorcycle which is what I do in my spare time. I like shooting videos and editing them so I thought about maybe trying to edit some videos for a little extra cash on the side. What are some things you all do to help save or make a little extra on the side

 

im a college student too.
what i do.. eat less, brew my own beer instead of buying it, sell text books.
thats all i got

 

School and 40 Hours of Work!?! You still have spare time? Sell the bike, spend your spare time studying.

 

dropped out of school and go into work on my days off

 

Cut hair, $5 college kids are all over it

 

Salvage scrap metal where ever I can and turn it in for cash. My first summer out of high school I only worked part time in the evenings and spent alot of days doing that. I made about 3000 tax free dollars that summer

 

When I was in college I was a valet at several high end restaurants. Hours were good for a student. Usually from 5/6 til 10-12 at the latest. It was all based off of tips, so some nights were better than others, but it averaged out pretty well. A super easy job most of the time too.

 

Work 5 days and school from 8-5 the other two days. Its not fun, but you gotta do what you gotta do. I can't sale my bike, then work and school would be the only thing I did.

 

I save cans on the side for a tad of cash here and there. Where did u get that much metal from?

 

Whatever I have to. I love taking odd jobs on the side .. keeps life interesting.

 

Well my grandma owned a duplex she was planning to tear down and I got all the scrap I could from that which was around 1000.

Also where I go wheeling, there were a few junked cars scattered around and I took alot from them (after the first full car, I realized what a pain in the ass that was) plus I got 4 washers and dryers from a local motel that was replacing them with new ones. I also checked Craigslist for free stuff that I could scrap

 

I go to school M-F 8-2:30 (50 min drive each way) then work 4-8 M-F and work 9-6 saturday. Not really any free time, but when I get the chance I try to find odd jobs to do to earn $20 or so

 

i have a change bucket. lol. it’s a old muscle milk container. say i buy something and i get $0.80 i take it home and put all of it in the change bucket and don’t cash it in till it is full. last time i cashed it in it was about 2” from the top and was like $360 ish.

 

Same as above but I toss anything less than $5. I barely ever use cash but in 2 months I had more than Taco721

 

yeah i just put $5 in $1 bills up. lol i had allot of 1’s and i hate them. also one time i got something and got $0.99 back lol. dad always gives me his pennies. lol

 

"Women pay me to... give them pleasure."

 

I am a full time student and work 40hrs a week.

I just try to save my money for school and sometimes have a little extra cash to spend on the truck.

 

In my spare time I use the search function.

i have three recommendations:

1) don't spend on lavish stuff you really don't need right now...
2) start a Roth IRA for yourself, and put some money in there each year - this will get you in a routine for saving for retirement, earlier is better
3) cash is king right now, ...be sure to have an "emergency" fund, a bank account/etc... remember if something craps out on you, you'll need the cash...

 

he said it here! i do the same just because of how easy money it is. if you don't mind a little manual labor you can make some killer cash!
