Making Money This Summer Is So Easy

There's nothing worse than missing out with friends because the funds are a little low. If you're looking to make extra money, without sacrificing too much time, one of these methods will surely help you out. Here are five temporary solutions to your financial struggles, or ways you can put extra cash in your wallet!

1. Sell your clothes

This solution is a win-win situation because you're earning extra money while cleaning out your closet. It can be hard to let go of hardly worn or old clothing, but it's pretty great when you have a little extra spending money! I recommend selling on platforms such as Facebook, eBay, Curtsy, and Poshmark. All of these websites will help you to earn a reasonable amount of money for your used apparel.

2. Donate plasma

Not only are you helping those in need, but you're also putting cash in your wallet. Similar to donating blood, it is a quick procedure that simply involves a puncture in your arm and will be finished in under an hour. Donating plasma can earn you anywhere from $20-$50. This along with another method will provide supplemental cash to say yes to Wine-O at Centrale.

3. Become a tutor

Whether it be students in high school, middle school, or college- someone is always in need of a tutor. Ask around your neighborhood or apply to work with a university in order to make extra money and brush up on your academic skills. Freelance tutors have the opportunity to earn up to $20 an hour, depending on the subject and difficulty you are tutoring. If you find yourself helping friends in a particular field, take advantage of these skills and use them to make a little extra money!

4. Try out freelance photography

If you have a camera of sufficient quality, consider becoming a freelance photographer. Whether it be your friends and family or people in your area, someone is always in need of graduation photos, engagement photos, or photos of their pet. Offering quality photography at a low price will bring much needed funds to your bank account.

5. Consider becoming a nanny or babysitting

Babysitting is one method that will provide large amounts of cash, fast. If you have experience caring for children and consider yourself to be responsible, you will likely succeed in this field. I recommend signing up for Care.com and asking around your neighborhood/Facebook friends. Many babysitting jobs are found through word-of-mouth, so I definitely recommend taking advantage of your resources and talk to those around you!

When your wallet's looking a little dry and you need extra money fast, try these five solutions. You'll attain the funds you need to afford those trendy shoes or a night out with friends.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
