5 Easy Ways To Make Money In Summer 2017

Most of us have summer jobs by now, I know I do, but sometimes it's not to not only make your usual paycheck but also a little extra spending money too. I have been trying to save money for the future but it's nice to have a little extra spending money during the summer, especially for adventures, bathing suits and ice cream!

1. House Sitting

This is honestly one of the easiest ways to make money and it's so easy. You basically get paid to live, which is necessary anyways.

2. Pet Sitting

Sometimes this goes along with house sitting and it's pretty easy and super cute. If I could get paid to pet and take care of pups everyday I would do it.

3. Open a Savings Account

Okay, so technically this isn't exactly making money, but it's definitely key in saving money. If your paycheck each week is going into a checking account that you are constantly taking money out of you're probably losing money in the long run. Whereas with a savings account, you can have a little spending money in your checking and a lot more in your savings that you aren't spending on that shirt you just have to have...

4. Move Home For a Little While

This also is kind of a cheat way of "making money", but moving home frees up bill paying and money that you might be spending each month on groceries, electricity, and rent.

5. Advertise Your Talents

Most towns have an online community posting site where people post jobs or list their skill sets in case anyone needs them. Maybe you are really good at cleaning houses or make jewelry in your spare time. You can communicate with your community's members and maybe make some extra cash!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

1969
Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
