Best Money Quotes to Build Your Wealth Series – 3

Money Quote - Thomas Edison
Money Quote – Thomas Edison

I am back today with another money quote and this one by Thomas Edison is a good one! There are so many opportunities in today’s world and there are more ways to make money than ever before. We are in the age of technology and the Internet. Hence, the opportunities are endless. We often hear people talk about their “Side Hustle” and how they work so hard to get ahead.  However, there are the people out there that miss out on these opportunities because they are afraid of pulling up their overalls for a hard day’s work.

Did you know in the United States alone there are $10.8 millionaires (CNBC.com article)? This number struck me as HUGE but the most interesting part is that many of these millionaires are self-made. No, they did not grow up with money, my friends. They got out of bed every morning and hustled! They found opportunities to create wealth and did not give up. Many millionaires failed over and over! But the difference between the millionaire mindset and the average Joe is perseverance and learning from failure.  Just look at Bill Gates. He started out with nothing and became one of the richest men in the world. There is something to be said for the self-made millionaire and work ethic!

What Is a Side Hustles?

They are many ways to earn extra money, on the side as opposed to your regular nine to five! As we talked about in Budgets 2019 you may be spending more than you are bringing in. Unfortunately, you will always be at a deficit if this is the case.

  • Save for a vacation
  • Earn extra spending money
  • Learn a new skill
  • Work from home
  • Build an emergency fund
  • Put away money for retirement
  • work hard now so you can retire early

Whatever the reason for needing extra cash, you will find something on my 75 side hustles list. Use one or a combination of the side hustles below to earn up to $100 per day. This extra money will be life-changing!

Christmas time can be such a fun time of the year…Greeting family, delectable food, and let’s not forget the yearly gift exchange.   However, not everyone can enjoy this splendid season because of financial woes and worries.

So many of us feel the financial strains and stresses this (suppose to be beautiful) season brings!! We want to shower our loved ones with nice gifts but do not always have the financial means to do so! If you are in this boat, I’m here to help!

I’ve compiled a list to help save an upwards of $250 in the next month to help out with Christmas shopping (or anything else you need)! I’m using many of these myself and am proud of the fact my husband won’t have to buy his own gift this year. Furthermore, I’m wishing everyone the best now and for years to come! Let’s go out there and make this Christmas shopping “thing” happen! Read on…

Money Making Ideas

1. Poshmark App (clean out your closet)-This is the main way I have personally earned extra money for Christmas shopping! All you need is a good picture of your item. You can sell woman’s, men’s and children’s clothing on this site.  Print off your pre-paid shipping label and send it on its way.  If you don’t like selling and shipping, you can send your stuff to Poshmark concierge and they will do the work for you.  Sign up now using my code NXUIA and you will get a $5 credit to spend on your first purchase. (keep your eye open for a related post-what sells on posh) – I made $170 selling my old clothing and shoes.

2. Mercari-This site is not just for clothing. You can sell anything and ship it to the buyer (kind of like an online garage sale).  You can use Mercari’s prepaid shipping or use your own.  Use my code  UYYBUS to sign up and get a $2 credit on your first purchase.
