When I need extra money, I have found the best place is at my company. I just let them know I want to work some overtime if any is available. Working just 5 extra hours at time and a half is equivalent to a full days pay. We ususally have someone who is taking vacation time and since the rest of the employees are fully trained it makes more sense for the company to have us work the extra hours instead of getting backed up or having to hire a temp that is not trained to do thejob in the first place.

Hello Speak...all of your suggestions sound excellent! I know some people who have full time jobs also "moonlight" part-time at a second job to earn extra. We all seem to be striving to do our best :) I commend you on your earnings at Helium. I love that site, and have made the best money selling articles through their Market Place. Best wishes in all you do, Karen

Hi Karen....Gosh I don't know where there are very many good money sites. I do alot of surveies and collect either money,merchandiseor points that I can cash in for money or merchandise. I also belong to alot of freebie groups and have gotten alot through them. They son't pay you money but the freebies to me are the same as they are things that I can use and not have to buy. I hope you get some good leads in your discussion. I am sorry I could not be of more help. flutterby

Hi Flutter...I always find your answers helpful. I think the freebie idea, for instance, is a good one. It would be a way to earn products, which is as good as earning some money at times. Thank you for your insights :) Karen

Hello my friend PeacefulWmn9 Ji, WEll, I am never here to make extra money to become wealthier by few cents. It is because of your company, I am here. I think, there is no line , where one think that one has now come upto brim for earning money. Even wealthiest person would like to add few cents. But I go other way around, by limiting my expenses and thereby earning my money. I am sorry, I might have not been able to explain well. But in case if one keeps away from Doctor, lawer and Police, one will save all bills care-of these professional and earning will automatically increase. There is way to earn more.May god bless You and have a great time.
