Getting a Little Extra Money

Ever wonder how to get a little bit of extra money?  Here are a few of the things that I do that get me a little extra money.  Not a lot, but hey every little bit helps :)

Getting paid to read emails:
Sends you emails and you get paid for clicking on the link in the email. It doesn't pay much but if you get referrals it can increase what you get by a lot. It is an easy way to get money for a date night.

This site has a lot of fun stuff. You get paid for all kinds of things.  I generally just do the paid emails (2 cents per email you get) and the surveys( I have made a few dollars on these).  I have only been using this site for a few weeks now and have earned almost $14.00 so far.  I think it has some pretty good potential.  You make the most off surveys and they usually don't take all that long to do.

Earning Prizes/Gift Cards:
Join Swagbucks!
You Can Get Free Gift Cards For Shopping, Searching and Discovering What's Online at Swagbucks.com



This one is my favorite. You earn "Swagbucks" for doing all kinds of things.  Searching, watching video trailers, and a whole lot more.  They have apps for you smart phones that you can use to earn tons of swagbucks. You use the swagbucks to get all kinds of items.  I have been doing this for a couple of months now had have enough swagbucks to get a $50 Amazon gift card.  I have found that you can earn swagbucks even faster if you refer people to it.  They have so many ways to earn swagbucks it is pretty much easy.  I earn a ton just by using their mobile TV app on my tablet.  I let it go through all the videos (movie and game trailers - and a comedy channel even) while I am off doing something else. It is great.  I would recommend this one for everyone.  If you do go with swagbucks be sure to install the toolbar and set it up as your default search.  That is the fastest way to earn swagbucks.

I am like most people and am skeptical about most of the get money from doing everyday things, but these three companies are legit.  I have even gotten a check from SendMoreInfo before so I know they pay out like they say they do.  So give it a go.  After all, who wouldn't want free stuff and some extra money in their pocket?

Bad Luck

Bad luck seems to always follow me around.  It seems like everything bad happens to me and I never seem to get a break.  Take this year for example.  Two days into the year Star breaks here wrist.  That adds a nice chunk of medical expenses to my list of bills.  And now my leg is in a nice boot after doing x-rays and an MRI because I have a severe shin splint.  I guess the only good thing is I am not in a cast.  At first the doctor thought it was a stress fracture.  But the MRI showed it wasn't to that point yet. Thank goodness. So I guess you could call that a bit of good luck.  But on the  flip side, I am not able to work out for the next 6-8 weeks.  So when soccer starts I am going to be really out of shape. Oh well.  I will just have to get in shape fast once the season starts.  That is if I am even able to play...
