The three months of summer for any student is the best time to fulfill those dreams of wild adventures and crossing things off of the bucket list. However many summer activities whether it be traveling or just going to the movie theater calls for money. When school is not your main priority, it is easy to blow money on things you did not even think you needed or wanted. Although getting a job is the best way to make quick cash, they are extremely time inducing and competitive. Here are three ways to make and save money this summer.

Living in a big city can be tough with large expenses just to get from place to place. My mom recommended this new app thats just like Uber pool, but it is cheaper. Via is a new travel app that picks you up and drops you off for only $5 anywhere. Although it is a car pool service, it is quick and reliable. Stop taking expensive cabs and try Via. Of course the best situation is to take public transportation, but when you need to be somewhere quick, or the place is too hard to reach by train, Via is the way to go!

After the long school year, I found myself with too much stuff. I had loads of boxes stored full of unnecessary dorm equipment and clothes i never even touched. I realized it was time to get rid of all these i no longer needed. I did not want to just throw it out, I wanted to make money from these things I had spent money on too. Then I came across BriskSale. This website is what I like to call a combination of ebay and etsy with an added bonus. Not only are there buyers and sellers, but there are also BriskSellers. These Brisksellers are given the opportunity to make money by earning commission from what they help sellers sell to people in search of that item. this is a great place to sell old clothes and textbooks, but it's also a great place to just make some money.

Finally, I recently came across this new app called Honey. This app automatically adds the best coupon to your cart at an online checkout. You no longer need to search for coupons, because it does it automatically. If you're anything like me, you spend a lot of time online shopping. This app will just cut a few dollars along the way, ultimately helping your wallet out.

These are just a few tricks and tools to help you from breaking the bank this summer. These tools may seem long-term, but in the end, everything helps. All the dollars you save/earn and don't spend will begin to pile up in your bank account and you can finally begin to make plans to take that trip you always wanted to take.
