It's 2018, and with the possession of a smartphone, you can make be making those money moves with just a tap of your finger. What are you waiting for?

4. Surveys On The Go

Apps like this make it super easy to be making a little extra pocket money on the go. On Surveys On The Go, you can answer quick and short surveys, and cash out. While some quizzes start at around 10 cents to a dollar, doing a bunch of them adds up!

5. Wag

Wag is an app where you can sign up to be a dog walker in your neighborhood. The app makes it super easy to pick up dogs and take them for a nice walk. You get your exercise in, and you earn around $30 for each walk.

*Bonus*: You get to hang out with adorable doggies.

6. Bird

If you're in select cities, you may have seen black electronic scooters flying around town, referred to as Birds. As a rider, Bird is a great service to get places fast, cheap, and fun. However, ever wonder how the electronic scooters get charged? The secret: users venture out at night and collect the birds to charge them from their own home.

You can sign up for their app to become a charger and get paid $5/Single Bird while you sleep. Not a bad deal! If you're looking to be a rider, on the other hand, your first ride is on me. Just use the code QMOMP!

Of course, there are so many opportunities to make quick cash online- like driving for Uber or Lyft, spending your days being a TaskRabbit, and so much more. However, if you're like me and don't have a whole lot of time to dedicate, these 6 apps are game changers.

If you try any of them out, let me know in the comments below!

Until then, make those money moves.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
