    Nowadays there is also a great demand for medical transcription. Also, personal skill like cooking, baking, playing an instrument, being good at drama etc may help you earn by using your creative skills. On line tutoring is also very much in vogue.

    find ways to make money is much much more important than finding ways to save money!
    I think it is a balance of the two. No point finding ways to make more money if you are just going to waste it. Learning to save can be done without bringing in extra revenue as well. At one point I was living on 50% of my salary between taxes and savings that were taken out before I got it. Then I made the huge mistake of marrying a guy who spent money faster than anyone can make it. Within months that salary that I easily lived and saved on, was no longer sufficient for our needs and his wants even with his income thrown in. One very important reason to really KNOW about the other's finances before getting your finances tangled up with another whether as a new spouse or a live in friend. It is too easy for them to TELL you what they want you to know, it is another thing for actually see for yourself by examining bank and savings accounts.

    My ex was always thinking up ways for me to make more money (funny thing since I was already bringing in more than him and as I said my income had been sufficient for me). I didn't need to find ways to make more money, but I did have to find a way to shut off the outgoing hemorrhage of cash.

    Working online is not easy but when you get the hang of things it can be a breeze. The secret is in sticking with something you know works until it works for you. No point jumping from one online business to another because that only leaves unfinished projects lying around. Stay focused and you will succeed. It can really get boring. Only the strong and smart ones survive.
    I agree with you 100%. If all you want is 'easy' money whether in the real world or on line you are chasing a dream. As in most things, hard work is what makes for income. You need to research the possibilities, find something that appeals to you, and then work hard to be the best you can be doing it. Run fast from any on line work that requires you pay money upfront to do the job. I've been making money on line for years now. Started my own business but have other ideas up my sleeve, for when I have time to get them into practice.

    If you love writing this is a way to start making additional income in your spare time.

    I know of at least two sites that you can make money like yesterday if you are serious about it and the beauty is that they pay you every week. You can also outsource to someone at a cheaper rate if you can find a reliable freelance writer for cheap.

    Blogging is indeed a great way to make money. Also online tutoring is really catching on. If you have the subject knowledge and are good at explaining things, not only does it help in earning but also gives you immense satisfaction. You could also earn through running music classes, dance classes, setting up science experiments for kids, any other kids-centric activity within a particular age-group.

    Matchstick Men rocked though. LOL
    It sure did. One of our favorite movies. I always wonder how people can be that gullible and willing to do anything for making money 'the easy way'.

Since you misspelled the word twice it doesn't give me any confidence in this money making idea.
    I second that! Matchstick Men rocked though. LOL

    I am not sure if someone already mentioned this, but there are several more ways you can make extra money or even a full time income.

    1. Peer to peer lending. You will need to put up some money upfront for an investment so this might not be a good choice for a lot of people, but if you do have money it is a good and steady source of income every month. This also depends on the amount of money you invest; the more you invest the more you will make.

    2. FOREX. I know that the word FOREX brings a negative image in peoples mind. A lot of people think of FOREX as a scam, but it is not. It is a really legitimate way of making a steady income if you know what you are doing. Actually you only need to learn a little and then find a reputable signal provider that will give you good, actionable trades that you can follow and make an income. Contrary to what most people think, this method of making extra money can be started with very little cash. You can start with $50 if you are on a really tight budget.

    These two money generating methods are 100% doable and can start producint income right away.
    Many other methods of making money mentioned here can take some time before you see even one dollar. For example blogging is good, but it can take you years before you see any significant income. Same thing with writing eBooks, reviews and freelancing. Doing these things you actually need to have authority or expert status in order to generate a significant amount of income.

    There are many ways that we can make extra money in today's day and age. Technology is a wonderful thing!
    I'm quite familiar with Forex but it's kind of a high risk business that may not me suitable for everyone.

    A blog or website with Google Adsense ads on it definitely can bring in some extra money every month.
    Jason, there is so much more to blogging to make money every month through AdSense. I do both, but due to other on line money making activities don't have time to blog daily. I can tell you I only make a few cents each money via AdSense and Amazon affiliate links on my blog. Not to say I haven't made money with AdSense. At this point I think I have made almost $500+.

    Blogs have to be interesting, have a wide distribution, a wide readership before they will generally return any money worth noticing. Since you have to earn $100 before AdSense pays out, it can take you literally years to earn that much.
