Would An Extra $1,000 Per Year Make A Difference To You?
Would
a $1,000 raise make you happier?
If
it would, then why not give yourself that raise?
Here
are the simple steps:
- First, break it down. That $1,000 is just an extra $2.75 every day. And earning an extra $2.75 sounds a lot easier than trying to earn the whole $1,000 in one go, doesn’t it?
- Set aside a maximum of 15 minutes each day. No matter how busy you are or how tired you are, you can find just 15 minutes extra
- Now find out all of the different ways you can get paid for doing the things you already do. If you live in the USA, this is really easy. You can get paid to watch TV ads, walk or even sleep. Elsewhere in the rest of the world, it is a bit more challenging which is why we move on to step 4
- Want to earn even more money? The easiest way is to get paid for doing your hobby
Some
people say that you should have three hobbies: one to develop your
mind, one to develop your body and one to make money. But there are
people making money doing every hobby, so why do you need a special
hobby just to make money when you can get paid for doing anything?
So,
why an extra $1,000? Why not more?
Well,
one of the main reasons why people fail to make more money is because
they set unrealistic targets. Someone will be in a dead-end job, up
to their eyeballs in debt and decide that they want to be a
billionaire by next tuesday. The reason that they do this is so that
they can fail with dignity. They can claim that they tried when they
had no intention of trying. If that is you, stop reading this right
now and go away because you’re just wasting everyone’s time
So,
that’s why I chose $1,000. It’s big enough to make a difference
but small enough that it only requires a small effort each day.
So,
what’s the result of this extra money:
1.
More money (duh)
2.
A changed mindset:
You
are in control of your destiny
You
are no longer a slave through debt
You
are now open to possibilities
3.
You have room to breathe
Earning
more than you spending
Emergency
fund
4. You have a little
investment capital. It’s not a lot so you can’t do a lot. But it
is something and something is always greater than nothing. Besides,
it’s more than you had before
Has Covid-19 Caused You Financial Problems?
If
It has, you aren’t alone. Too many people are now facing financial
hardships because of the lockdowns. And it’s only going to get
worse as another lockdown is expected in the autumn when there will
be a resurgence of the virus.
So,
what can be done about it?
Well,
the most sensible and easiest solution is to have a secondary income.
Yes,
I know. It all sounds like a complete bore and it would be so much
easier if you just got a raise or even a better job. But would it?
Look around at people who are in better jobs than you – are they
any better off or do they have the same look of fear in their eyes.
And honestly, how easy was it getting your last raise?
But
what secondary income?
Well,
it needs to be something you can do from home whilst in lockdown.
People earning extra money from Uber and AirBnB saw that money just
evaporate completely during the lockdowns – and it is a big
question as to how long it will take to recover, if it ever does.
And
it needs to deal with the matter of motivation. You come home after a
hard day at work and you’re going to have to do more work on a
second income. How long will that take to get old?
So,
we need something that can be done from home that doesn’t require
lots of motivation to do. Well, that’s an impossible solution.
Not
quite.
There
are a small hand full of possibilities that fit this bill and the
first one is the easiest: how would you like to paid for being you?
If you could find people who would pay you for being you and doing
the things you already do, would that be a good thing?
