1) Try and collect the Money that other people owe you, including child support. At you job, volunteer to do an overtime, and ask for a raise or an appraisal. Use your job benefits. Examples of this are: turn in job expenses to get reimbursed, contribute to your 401(k) retirement plan to get your money matched by your employer, or put money for child care or medical expenses into an account that is not taxed as part of your income.
2) There are many ways to earn some extra money. All you need to do is be a bit creative, and apply your brains. But be careful, don’t get carried away. Be careful of jobs and promises that are too good to be true. Do not fall in for ads that promise to pay you a lot of money for very simple work like stuffing envelopes. Most of these ads are scams. If you see that y0u have to pay a lot or buy stuff before getting a job, don’t go for it. It might be a rip-off.
