AD 5 Ways To Boost Your Cash For Christmas

Christmas might be the most exciting time of the year for a lot of people, but when you need to foot the bill it can also be a very stressful time. While being lavish and extravagant isn’t required at Christmas, many of us want to go a little bit over the top through the festive period – whether that’s by spoiling loved ones, providing warm and comforting meals for those around us, or simply to keep on top of bills during a period where we use much more gas and electric for things like festive lights, and extra heating on chilly mornings. If you need a little income top-up just in time for Christmas, I’ve got some great tips that will help you in a pinch. Here are five ways to boost your cash for Christmas. Go through your wardrobe Most people have all kinds of things in their wardrobe that they don’t wear anymore, but they just sit there gathering dust. Make some drastic decisions and decide to sell things that you’re never really going to wear anymore. If you’ve got kids, do the same in their wardrobes too – it’ll take a couple of days to get everything photographed and listed, but you might be able to earn enough to cover the cost of some pressies. Make sure you factor in packaging, any selling fees, and petrol when working out your postage costs, so you don’t end up losing out! Get a loan from a trusted provider While getting a loan is never a long-term solution, it can be handy to know that there is a reputable company that is able to bridge a temporary gap in your finances. cashasap.co.uk offers short term loans from £150 – £750 with an interest rate that is lower than the FCA cap, which is just one of the reasons they are rated Excellent by 2000 customers on TrustPilot. The application process is quick and simple, with no guarantor required and all of your payment dates given to you before you finish your application. Make sure you only ever borrow as much as you’re able to pay back without putting yourself under any financial strain – as a responsible lender, cashasap.co.uk will only lend what you can afford to pay back, making them the brand to pick for payday loans. Sign up to a freelancing website There are many websites that offer you small amounts of money to do all kinds of freelancing work, from creating content to designing logos. While it might not be megabucks, a few projects can certainly be helpful to top up your income over Christmas. If you’re any good at proofreading, copywriting, or digital design, there are always people looking for your skills – and if not, try signing up to a market research website, as there are often opportunities to participate in studies for £50 – £100 at a time.  Check out your cashback balance Do you use a cashback website? If so, go and check your balance now! Christmas is a fantastic time to withdraw your balance, as it is only a couple of days until all of that money hits your account, and it feels like ‘free’ money since you earned it for spending on things you needed to buy anyway! If you don’t have a cashback account, make sure you sign up so you can help yourself out next year.  Offer some help locally Finally, check in with locals to see if they need any help – even something like bringing dinner over a couple of nights a week, or wrapping somebody’s Christmas presents. You’d be surprised what services people are willing to pay for because they cannot do them themselves, or simply don’t have the time.    Do you have any side hustles or ways to top up your income over the festive period?
