Inquiringindividual: God bless you!
Skipping allllll the ads, thank you
Decluttering....does not seen lazy to me...shit takes days and weeks and months.
“Sell stuff”. SO much easier said than done!
Yes because I lost my ID in AMERICA I'm Canadian 😂 and you need ID to make a bank account and I need a bank account to get PayPal and I need PayPal for Poshmark and I need Poshmark because I need to sell clothes and I need to sell clothes because I'm a broke b!tch
Facebook marketplace is your best friend
“Text books are extremely re-sellable” lies and slander. If you have that book for one semester they’re already coming out with the new version and that book is worthless 😹
Never rent your car out to anyone! I work for a towing company that tows for five police departments, no private property towing. We are contracted by the police to respond to accidents and impounds. Nearly every week we tow a vehicle or two that belongs to a nationally-recognized car rental company. These vehicles have police holds on them, which means that the driver has violated traffic laws or been involved in a crime. The average person would have very little access to screening potential drivers. This is a big NO.
Marcia Pemberton As a criminal law paralegal I was thinking the same thing. Plus, the possibility of a law suit from the renter or even from a victim of the criminal renter. IF I were up to no good, renting a car from a private citizen would be my first choice.
I have a friend who rented out his very nice, new-to-him jeep. The renters abandoned it at a rest stop without notifying anyone - it was missing its air filter and with rags stuffed into the filter housing instead.
Instead, use blabla car and take people with you when driving somewhere
I wouldn't rent out my can on the account that Mechanical problems are expensive and if they hit something and a gasket pops or I have transmission problems from them gunning the engine I'm screwed and what they paid to rent it won't match the price I'll be paying to fix it. I also use my car a lot so i'll pass on that.
Pet sitting is not always a 'super lazy' job. I just spent 10 days with a dog that was probably part monster. I can't even begin to describe the messes that she made that yours truly had to clean up.
Once I had to dog sit a chihuahua mix that literally smelled like a rotting carcass. My eyes would water whenever I had to take her collar off.
Gross! Lol...
Sunny day, I usually do. And I did meet the dog prior to them leaving, I just didn't know all the details.
Andrea Haley 😊
true that! a dog scratched a hole in my screen door (takes only one time to make a hole!). Another dog ripped the curtain on my front door and yet another peed on my carpet on day 1. All cost money to clean/fix or replace.
Just a PSA:
The apps that pay you for workout or steps do collect information about the location. They don't just pay you, its your information that fuels it. If you are concerned about privacy, be aware of info these companies collect.

Damn, those female wealth stats shook me to my core! I want to help educate women about finances now more than ever. Your channel is doing the good work, thank you so much!

Meghan Stark I just turned 50, and I have felt this myself personally. It's a new beginning for me and I'm trying to make smart choices. I've always invested in my works 401(k) but it's not going to be enough when I'm on a fixed income 20 years from now. So I'm doing everything I can to educate myself and I appreciate all the women who are out there trying to help educate
Just like driving for Uber and Lyft, it's also important to factor in maintenance costs for your car depending on how often you're renting it out. You should subtract those extra costs from any profit you make when estimating potential gains.
FutureNow As well as paying taxes at the end of the year. That’s something a lot of people don’t know/expect when it comes to driving for Uber and Lyft.
FutureNow gas is tax deductible
Katie Michelle Right but Uber and Lyft don’t take out income tax with each paycheck like most jobs. This leaves the driver with the responsibility to have the money when the time comes each year.
Queen B true, that’s just something you have to account for.
*I'm not 100% sure that Uber drivers are even technically insured while driving clients. I seem to remember language in my own insurance policy that precludes using my vehicle for business purposes, and I somehow doubt every Uber driver is paying for more expensive business activity coverage. Or that Uber is picking up the tab.*
Petsitting can be a relatively laid back job, however it can also be challenging and time consuming. Here are some examples to consider (all from experience):
Most clients who seek housesitting/petsitting do so because they have a pack of dogs that would be extremely expensive to board. Nearly all my clients have four dogs. One of my clients requires that each of her four dogs gets walked separately every morning. Think about fitting that in before your workday! Also, packs of dogs are generally high maintenance and require your UNDIVIDED attention otherwise temper tantrums ensue. No writing, reading, watching, etc.
One of my clients packs wakes me up every morning hours before I usually wake up, and when I try to lay down later I get clawed by their giant boxer. After a week of this, exhaustion really sets in.
You will have to deal with people who do not care about their dogs, and fight the urge to tell them off. One of my clients refused to cut her sheep dogs hair in the summer and lets her pant all day in her barely air conditioned house (we live in the desert). Another instructed me to leave the AC set to 90 degrees whenever I left her house. This gets quite upsetting.
Some dogs aren't trained. You might be cleaning up poop every single day, multiple times a day. Some dogs are going to bark at everything, at every time of the day, all week.
I often drive 60 miles between my day job and a client's house, which adds up in gas and time.
Every new client requires an initial meeting, and I've had many a weekend eaten up by commuting from client to client to meet with them, unpaid. Some clients won't book with you after that, too.
I love dogs. I love being around dogs. Making a business out if watching strangers dogs isn't quite as easy as it seems, though.
puipoo I couldn't agree more! You've summed it up well. It can be a great side hustle but it comes with a bit of sacrifice!
puipoo you are correct, it is not easy. I did a bit of dog walking for a few weeks and quickly figured out that many clients are people who are 'too busy' to train/walk their dogs and insist on a dog walker running the dog(s) to exhaustion so they don't have to deal with bad doggy behaviour of their own doing. Any behavioural good I could do was immediately undone by the owners, who I felt cared but in the wrong ways, so I get that feeling of wanting to yell at them "Why do you even have a dog if you have no time to invest in him?!!!".
Letting someone else's underexercised, badly behaved dog off lead is a minefield. One small dog I had to take miles from anywhere (practically negating any financial benefit) because he would chase cars and sheep, had zero recall and I relied on tricking him with his tennis ball to catch him; he had no fear of running up to a pack of big dogs he didn't know - basicaly, he hadn't been socialized at all and sooner or later he was going to get ripped to bits. Another dog walker had passed this client to me and I soon realized why - turned out he did a runner on her and she got stressed out to the max. I also walked two sweet Cocker spaniels who were a joy, so excited when I arrived but a pair of rascals to catch at the end of the walk because they were enjoying it so much they didn't want to go back! I was trialling this as an income generator and wasn't yet insured, so for the first time in my life I actually found it stressful to walk a dog and decided it wasn't for me. If I were ever to do this again it would be with the caveat 'for company, socializing, gentle exercise locally and toileting: dog(s) always kept on lead'.
I've had friends who are artists do dog walking/cat sitting in order to make a living. It's a lot of work, even as a side hustle. Many clients require two visits per day (AM/PM). They had to schedule clients in a localized area so they weren't running all over the city. It also takes awhile to build up clientele. The only benefit for them was a flexible schedule, no dress code, no 'boss'.
Yeah, I've been a full-time professional pet sitter for 8 years, and it kind of annoys me when people suggest it as a - what's the title of this video again? - "extremely lazy" side hustle. Lol. I've taken CPR and first aid training multiple times (which I've actually had to use), broken up dog fights, been bitten, scratched, worked when I'm sick, worked when I'm injured, worked my birthday and holidays, cleaned up all kinds of messes, dealt with terrible clients (and learned when to fire them). But I think the most important thing is knowing what to do in an emergency, because being unprepared could literally mean life or death. I don't recommend becoming a pet sitter or dog walker unless you're really invested, and I don't recommend hiring a pet sitter or dog walker who doesn't have at least a couple years of experience in professional animal care (volunteering, vet med, etc).
There is always an assumption that everyone who could possibly see this is American which is why it is so rare to hear “U.S only”, which I then discover is often the case after visiting a website and searching through pages of information. Multiply this time by the number of websites.
Ian Mayman yh
she's american, living in new york city. she's not going to be educated on finances of every country. the websites may not be good for international viewers, but the principals should be.
All TFDs videos have started to blend together and be the same to me. I’m so addicted to RUclips that I still clicked. But I wish they had much more in depth information.
I wish they wrote articles. I definitely don't need to spend 10 mins watching this minus ads skipped.
It's not on RUclips but a crazy awesome free podcast is "Listen Money Matters" and they answer questions. I started listening to the financial diet but hungered for more in depth stuff on finance knowledge and found that podcast. I started with the episodes that seemed the most relevant to me and then weaved my way from beginning to end of that podcast and it satiated my need for depth. I still give financial diet a listen because I like the statistics Chelsea throws out there and the occasional service/idea I haven't heard of.
A friend has a great little business renting out her baby items. With minimalism being more popular she has tons of business. Swings, carriers, furniture, toys etc. Also a friend has an old camper and brought it to a campground to rent out. Such great ideas.
It's sad that some of the items on this list are reminders that to make money, you have to have money. Homes or nice cars to rent, good quality furniture to sell. This coming from someone who, more or less, has both because I'm lucky enough to have a full time job (not so much on it being well paid or even paid appropriately considering the education required, but, enough so that I have a small apartment without too much stress about rent and nice little used car I'm close to paying off). Kind of a weird suggestion, but do you have or would be willing to do a video on "what to do" during a money crisis? Say getting laid off, sudden debt, etc? Not even long term planning but short term advice to help someone stay afloat for 1-2 months needed to get back on track. I know a lot of people, say, are to afraid to use local pantries for food, hygiene items or clothing, when most have a first time no questions asked policy and that can save you a grocery bill for that month (there is no shame in this, you can always pay them back with donations or volunteering in the future, the pantries are set up to help). Some aren't sure how to file for unemployment, etc. I think even just having a plan would help lessen anxiety for persons who don't have a lot of job security.
There are still ways to make money, you just need to have a veeery open mind :P
She’s already made a video on it, it’s called an emergency fund. Anyone who’s making money, and especially someone who’s making money for the first time in their life like a teenager, needs to be saving for an emergency fund if they do not have one. And if you don’t have one, then it really is an emergency. That’s the thing about capitalism, the system that we live in in America, is that all good things goes to those who wait or are prepared.
Having a full-time job is not luck. You earned that. Don't ever forget that.
i picked up a pair of tory burch pants at a thrift store or about $2.sold them tonight for $44. same store, purchased steve madden purse, $2. sold for $40. yes, it took a little money up front and some time.
Actually the first way to stay afloat would be to make as much money as possible, not use credit cards, learn to rein in your spending then during periods of unemployment you can stay afloat it isn't hard to figure out how to file for unemployment you can go to the unemployment/welfare offices to get what you need.
Can you guys please do an episode catering to people in rural areas? We are left out of a lot of your content!
Jessica, it’s even worse if you’re not in the U.S, practically everything like this revolves around Americans in cities.
Agree. Though it might be a little hard for them to do because they don't have the perspective.
While I love and enjoy this channel I have to admit I feel a little left out from a lot of the tips because they really can't apply to me.
I think finance is just so different in other countries that they can't really give any specific tips. But I feel like you just need to figure out what situation you're in and then pick the tips that would work for you.
Yes. I live in the boondocks.
I know this feel. Stick to the online stuff and Swagbucks. And the blast app lets you run games for cash.
Questions: How do you prevent people from destroying/stealing your stuff when you 'rent' them? What if you don't have a smart phone, do those aps still work on a tablet or through email? All these 'lazy' things sound like they take tons of work. Sorting stuff, selling stuff, getting people to partner with you, using aps that might be scams... I only agree with investing with a real bank as an easy way to make money and my cash-back credit card.
I use Acorns and made a few investments and invested in a Roth IRA. I've made well over 100x's my deposit and will continue using it. I also just invested in a few stocks I follow on cashapp. I'm only a few weeks in but I like what I see.
If only financial education was introduced into the education system at an early stage then we would worry less about poverty, took me 7 months to build a solid financial statement investing in Stocks and ETFs, my luck is I work with an Executive trade expert. Eddy Bruke which makes it a lot easier, reached 85% of my $32k goal for the year. Cheers 🥂
This name sounds very familiar, I think I heard it at a webinar lately. I have a keen interest for the stock market, it has made a lot wealthy would be nice to talk to an expert myself to get familiar with the ethics of investing right.
You can look up Mr Eddy Bruke
or Connecteddybruke@gma!l, to know further what financial freedom entails
Trust me no one else will understand how golden this is..... thanks for giving it for free
Useful pet sitting info is that in many places you need a licence, especially if you have the pet stay with you.
Here in the UK, for example, you can stay in someone's house and look after their pet, but to have the pet stay with you, you need to be a registered boarder, with licencing and regulation.
Could you please look into closed captions for your videos so that they can be enjoyed by a wider audience?

I don't disagree, but if you haven't already you should try their blog - lots of content there that's accessible!
If The Financial Diet made it accessible for me to add captions, I'd be more than happy to add them, as a hearing person.
Radical decluttering is also an excellent way to save money. I just returned to the US after living abroad. Having to fit all my belongings in two suitcases called for radical decluttering (I used the KonMari method) also made me reevaluate what I actually care to own. Because I own less and shop less now, I spend considerably less and now am more willing to actually invest in quality pieces.
I don’t want people in my car or home sooo guess I’ll just be broke 😃
Some things are irreplaceable and not worth the pennies you make from renting them out.
I understand and I don't like sharing my home either however, last year I made 60,000.00 This year 40,000.
Alvie E-K agreed, people be cra
Matt Schwartz Two Familly in Brooklyn, ny. I rent out the top floor and a basement suite. The price of homes in Brooklyn would be equivalent to a mansion in most states except California.
Matt Schwartz I can’t tell you too much . They’re cracking down on Airbnb in nyc. Trying to pay some bills and just rent to regulars. It doesn’t have to be such a great neighborhood although I do live in one. My friend in Harlem makes 4000.00 for a small extra bedroom. If you’re in Manhattan or close to it you can make a pretty penny. Although, my place is legal . The city is trying to find ways to prevent us from continuing. The point of this is to tell you that although I don’t really love welcoming strangers to my home I’m willing to be a little uncomfortable temporary because it’s quiet lucrative.
Matt Schwartz that’s 4000.00 per month for the bedroom. I know is someone else who quit their six figure jobs to this and has more than doubled their income.
I did a huge Konmari style decluttering before I emigrated. I made £300 of all my manga on ebay, about £200 from my Japanese language learning books (I had a library's amount) to students as a Japan-English social group, and my uni text books sold for a lot too, like £20 to 30 each to other student, so I made a lot from just books. My old retro-ish games also sold well; my Pokemon Silver surprisingly sold for £40 by auction on ebay! I imagined it would sell for less than £10 since it's a super old game I must have gotten a decade or so ago
Old video games *that still work* are actually quite valuable since they're hard to find!
Yeah it was my entire Fruits Basket and Vampire Knight series. Each FB book sold for £10 and went like hot cakes, but Vampire Knight so much, it was hard to get rid of it so I ended up selling each for £3-4. All my old GBA and PS1 stuff was surprisingly a lot easier and sold for much higher than my newer PS3 stuff which hardly sold for anything. Good thing I kept it all until the value went up!
Pet sitting through Rover is my current side-hustle, and it's great. I already take care of a dog so it really isn't that much extra work, but pays really well. It's the only side-hustle I've had that is really sustainable and profitable.
Lol my parents got mad at me because I saved all the money they gave me for my birthday every year since like 10 years old. I guess I could have fun with a little bit of it :)
Bryan Shealy why should they get mad from it lol it’s called ‘saving’
Me too. It adds up.
Your parents are idiots. Saving is always a great idea.
I live in a student city, and am a student myself. It's the time that everyone is moving house. a lot of people are leaving £50 worth of stuff on their streets: cabinets, kitchenware etc. I'm taking it and selling it on Facebook marketplace and have made about £100 in a week!
Pet sitting is my full-time job and it can be really difficult. I had a dog get attacked when a neighbor dog got into its yard. I've had clients tell me their elderly cat may die while they are gone and how to deal with its remains. Even the easiest dogs need walked, fed, and given medication. Its nearly impossible for myself (and the other sitters I've talked to) to get a decent nights sleep on overnight visits for many reasons.
In addition to that there are many costs. I am licensed, insured, and bonded which costs about $400 a year. On busy days, I can drive over a hundred miles between client's homes.
Pets are very special and loved by their owners. Taking care of them is a big responsibility.
So basically, be in a good position in life first or you're fucked. Super helpful...
"The card that grandma sends you that has a check in it even though you're an adult"... *Pft I need that check now more than when I was a kid. Thank you Grandma!
the apps thatnyou reccomended are only availble in US huhu im sad
Wealthsimple isn't, as far as I can tell (I'm like halfway into signing up). Usually everything on this channel is but I think they're finally giving us non-US people a chance!
At least is not in Mexico the investing app :(
I'm not wealthy but my job pays every week. Out of an average four week month, I'm beginning to try to save ONE paycheck per month. That will be set aside for a savings account I'll be setting up soon. Most of the rest goes toward rent. However, (I guess to balance) I'm always spending my weekly tips on necessities, my monthly bus pass, or just a new video game!!! It's not a perfect budget, but I'm just beginning to be more financially stable.......
I liked the channel much better without ads that you keep bringing up during the video.I don't trust the site as much as I did before
Another route that I (literally) lived off through university was signing up for research trials through my uni. I did a fair few for the psychology and science departments, and they were all only 1-2 hours of your time to answer online questionaries / electrode brain scans etc (all non-invasive and of course voluntary) but they usually paid in gift cards which was really useful :)
inspiring channel! I love how you encourage especially women (also men) to take charge of their finances. to bad that some of your sponsors, like wealthsimple, dont operate in Europe! I would love to see your channel going international 😉
I highly recommend pet sitting and dog walking if you love animals!!! I started using Wag and Rover during my 3rd year of medical school as a way to play with dogs and relieve stress. I didn't think I'd be able to make much money, but it's been soooo much better than I expected! I've made over $200 just from pet sitting for a weekend. Usually Rover is where I book the bigger/ more lucrative stays, and I use Wag for 20, 30, or 60 minute dog walks that range from $8-21 a few times a month. It's not my primary job, but it's a fun side hustle.
Sweatcoin is pretty close to a scam. I would advise against it. Do your research.
I think it's not a good idea to rent out your car. No insurance will cover the car if they total it and you basically have zero protection against theft. I suggest anyone considering this puts serious research into it. Also expect your maintenance to cost $0.50- 0.85 per mile driven and seriously consider if this is going to be worth the hassle and inconvenience long term.
Problem with the apps and sites you recommend is that they dont exist in multiple countries
That is because it depends on the countries laws/regulations regarding online sites/apps and a lot of the companies are based in the US or Canada you have to do a lot of research to find ones for your country.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this in relation to surveys, but you can sign up for Google Rewards, if you're an Android user, and do surveys for Google dollars that you can use to purchase anything at Google Play. Books, magazines, tv shows, movies apps, games, etc. And most surveys take less than a minute and the Google money accumulates fairly quickly because you get surveys at least once a day.
eBay is my new best way to declutter and make money! It’s not too much work, but definitely takes a little time if you want the listings to look right!
I am trying to choose between eBay and Amazon... What made you go for eBay? Better prices? Any other reasons? Thanks!
Lenysea ooh! Good question! I actually didnt look into Amazon. eBay charges 10% of the final sale vale and let’s you post 50 free listings per month. PayPal then takes 2.95% + 30 cents as it’s cut. I compared this option with other companies like Vinted, Poshmark, or Thread Up since I mostly want to sell clothes. Those apps take a larger cut and don’t have an auction feature, so I chose eBay! The best feature of eBay that I like is the auctions. They will help you sell your stuff a lot faster if you start the price low. I’ve only sold 4 items so far, but all have gone for a nice amount of money, more than I expected! One of them sold via the “best offer” option where I listed for $20, which was honestly a reach and someone offered $15 and I accepted!
There's also an increasing number of people who bid and win on your auctions and then never pay, or promise to pay and never do. It's certainly not a lazy way to earn money
Holly Etheridge it hasn’t happened to me yet! But that’s good to know!
Holly Etheridge I suppose “lazy” isn’t a good word, but you will keep a lot more money for your stuff. The other option for keeping all of your money seems to be craigslist, and I don’t like the lack of protection there. I’ll have to look into Amazon as an option.
Here's a related one: I have two cats and I rent out my flat with AirBnB when I'm away. This way people are actually paying to look after the cats + they really enjoy it :)
I hear you talk a lot about investing, but the few actionable things i have seen you say don't apply to me, since I'm from Portugal.
So my question is, how do I invest? What does that actually mean?
I don’t particularly care to lose weight, but I’m super broke, so I’m using healthy wage. I also signed up for a focus group that reviews donuts. Maybe I can find a paid university study on the effects of sugar and weight loss…
Lol, gonna make that money, honey!!
anyone got any advice for making money for europeans?
Andreja Simeonov b
Not sure as a lot of the Survey companies are either based in the US or Canada so you have to do a log of online research to find sites for your own country.
*I'm sort of skeptical of the thing about renting out your car because I'm not sure that insurance companies actually cover that. In fact, I'm not 100% sure that Uber drivers are technically insured while driving clients.*
For Uber I think there’s a specific auto insurance option people can choose (at least on usaa). I would hope Uber requires some sort of insurance
Don't forget about mTurk. More than just surveys so you don't get as bored. $5-15 is practical once you get used to the system. A couple hours a few weeks a night while I watch TV at night nets $50-100 per week, which great to set aside or splurge if you're already saving.
radical decluttering has already helped me make $200 this year! i sold old jewelry & old DVDs (we haven't had a DVD player in three years!)
I love your channel but I do have some advice: please try out the services you recommend before you recommend them.
It was heavily implied you don't when you mentioned you were going to download the sweatcoins app, meaning you didn't try it before recommending it and that implied you probably weren't thinking too much about trying the other services as well. If I'm wrong I'm sorry for assuming but that is the impression that has been given off.
As well as try to make your advice a little more friendly to people for low income people and those in rural areas. You live in New York which is probably hard for you to relate to rural experiences, but a friendly alternative to some things would be greatly appreciated.
In the end a lot of things you say in this channel are amazing advice and I've learned a lot from this channel.
Keep up the good work!
about reselling textbooks: I guess because in the US you have legal system largely based on precedents, you could sell law textbooks. However, in Germany we have an ever changing civil code, hence that textbook I bought last year is already outdated because there were one or two changes that aren't covered or now falsely covered in my textbook. Better solution is to go to the library in the first place.
It sucks how much I love this channel and can't follow many important tips and tricks because I live in a different country
I personally like to use Amazon Mechanical Turk to make a few extra dollars here and there. It can be anything from surveys, to simple date entry, or transcribing receipts. I find it better than survey money or any of those sites.
1:05 "It's over $1000 dollars a year. Which is enough to found a vacation". Wish that they would say something similar to "Which is enough to start a small stock portfolio" instead.
The Swedish Investor some people REALLY need their vacations.
What’s the point of having money if you aren’t going to spend it?
Freedom, security and even more money
I have tried survey taking for several different legit sites and I never "qualify" for the survey. Is there some trick to finding the surveys that will actually let you take them and get paid for it?
I only ever qualify for surveys which then register themselves as "full" halfway through completing the survey. So no extra cash for me!
Lie
Say you're married
say you have five kids
say you do all the shopping for your household
say you own your own home
say you have more than one types of pets
but you still might get halfway through the damn survey and they'll discontinue and not pay you
I’m a single unemployed childless person and I still qualify for plenty of surveys. Once you do so many with certain sites they have your demographics so you do start getting more higher paying targeted surveys
Already use wealthsimple and Swagbucks. But some of these aren't really lazy, like filling out surveys actually takes a lot of time, and you need to cleanup after renting your room out.
Petsitting is a huge side gig for me and the demand continues to grow as my reputation is spread and people catch up with post covid travel. I only do it for people who know my current clients. It fits well into the bookends of my day as a single woman who does solo contract work as my primary job. $40-60/day depending on the demands. It's extra income so I don't do it if the animals suck or it's too far outside my regular travel. I always stay at their place to minimize travel. I love animals so I don't mind adjusting my sleep schedule to accommodate earlier routines and enjoy having reasons to do morning walks (paid exercise!). I get to stay on beautiful farms and often bigger houses with nice bath tubs, for example, which was an especially big deal once upon a time when I lived in a shifty small apartment with my boyfriend.
By far, the best video of TFD! Thanks, Chelsea... More like this one please.
Pay gaps, % of women saving for retirement...etc, it might not be true for some of your demographic (@ commenters), but from my social context, women who are also in minority groups are less likely to be paid the same, have the same access to promotions or better jobs, and receive financial education. This is a pretty US dominated channel but there are non-US people like me watching and learning too, and the stats corroborate with my community’s situation.
Sweatcoin reminds me of that one Black Mirror episode...
Yeah not only that but a lot of people have tried it and have said it's a scam. www.reddit.com/r/beermoney/comments/6z9zg2/psasweatcoin_is_a_total_scam/
Marianne in France the second episode of season 1, right?
That's the one!
Marianne in France I use some of those websites (Achievement/Achievemint) and I freaked big time when I watched that episode 😱
Its a scam
#1 is always the most popular idea for these videos. Only works when you have things, or actually having a home.
This is one of the rare times I've heard a female voice use the word lazy in a way that's not condescending or judgemental and it's getting my pulse racing
I find half of what she says is just old ideas and the other half for people who have just a little bit more to invest than others. This applies to most of her videos I have looked at.
*Technical textbooks ARE highly resellable. But consider keeping that shit unless you're absolutely sure you're never going to use it again. I'm disappointed in myself for selling my Engineering Economic Analysis textbook in college. I could really use it now for personal finance.*
i paused the video and searched for local focus groups and signed up with one. while i was doing that, one of my items in poshmark sold. i earned $27.40 on one item.
I would like to point out that wage gap is not what you think it is. It is literally because it is averaging in the amount that men vs. women make without separating the stay at home moms, the vast amount of women in art related work, and the fact that men are more likely to go for the higher paying jobs involving math and science.
I appreciate your work. I’ve done nothing but fukk off with my money I pay my bills but if I actually managed what I made I see i could actually do way better . Thanks.
Yeah that rent thing is an AWESOME idea. Until they make a copy of your key for your moped and then it ends up missing over making $25. Ideas other than storing it inside because that isn't always an option either? Because yeah, it actually did happen to me.
Im glad you included the survey websites bc there are so many that are not legit that i just avoided doing those.
Sweat coin is horrible. If you don't upgrade to a premium account you can only make five dollars a day. Then it takes a whole year for anything valuable. All the little "prizes" or whatever anyone wants to call them, still cost money so, it's not worth it. I uninstalled after about three weeks of using it, both me and my brother realized how pointless it was.
If you are going on a highway trip and you are not in a hurry, your car will pay you to slow down, in the form of extra gas in your tank. It varies by vehicle. For my car, I get paid $7.20 an hour for arriving a little bit later. Check out fuel economy dot gov to use their calculator.
Thumbs up on the pet sitting recommendation. I've made over $6,000 the last approx 4 years cat sitting when it suits my schedule. I advertise through Kijiji. Make sure you love the pets though! As she mentioned, it will also give you an idea of whether you're suited to pet ownership. I pet sat only one little low maintenance dog and still learned quickly they are way more work than cats. So I will love them from afar and just enjoy the cats for now.
Hey Chelsea
Been following TFD a bit, love your videos. Do you have a video showing how you make them? slick editing, I just want to improve mine so I can do more. thanks
Sweatcoin is a scam. My husband is a mail carrier and walks 12ish miles a day, same route every single day. Sweatcoin counted all the steps at first and then gradually reduced it to nearly nothing. Contacting support was fruitless. The rewards are mostly crap too, most of them are just discount coupons for online brands you've never heard of.
Let your inner dork flow...I love it.
Survey platforms pay differently too. I’ve found sometimes a survey on one platform I got 25 cents for was offered to me on another site for $3.00 but since I’d already taken it on that IP it ended the survey partway through.
A Finnish youtuber told about a guy who collected bottles from trash cans, recycled them, and invested the money. He literally died a millionare having done this for few decades.
I know that you can make money by singing as well. Thanks for the demo, it actually made my day.
Hi all, just a word of caution; I used to use/do Swagbucks for a while. It used to be good, really good just not anymore and I just recently deleted my account. Just a heads up. There is MTurk/Inbox Dollars or other websites that you could try
Good advice, you have an awesome singing voice btw!
I always was skeptical of the survey ones. It's been years since I tried one, but I remember a few asking me to pick some promotion or card at the end of it which felt like they were trying to get money from me.
#: minimize management fees on investments. Wealthsimple's management fee is 0.5% (if $100k), which can be 10 times higher than comparable ETF/index funds if you invest yourself!
Another lazy way to collect money is to use Littlefund for your children’s savings. It allows friends and family to gift into goals for experiences or large purchases rather than give material goods that you don’t need. You can also earn cash back!
I live in a small town so most of these don't apply to me. It is kind of like "Free Food for Millionaires", I can't afford the fancy or latest stuff, If I get it used, no one is going to want to rent that.
Also on top of all the information on the wealth gap between men and women it is also interesting to know that women are responsible for roughly 80% of financial market decisions.
LiISTEN TO HER, EVERYONE. Age does not matter, open up and learn from everyone. I am retired and invested some money into Wealthsimple, because of this (TFD) site. I invested money that was in a standard bank savings account and in just this month I have made more with Wealthsimple. I am older and learned from TFD. Thank you, Chelsea and the best to you and your husband.
Piggybank investing is a great way to start saving and eventually with stock investing.
Doing airbnb is not a "lazy" way of making money - i personally spend quite a lot of time on cleaning, washing bedding, preparing & waiting for guests to arrive. I love it and i do make decent money - but its not "lazy" or "super easy" and there are risks letting strangers into your house...
and what people forget - you DO have to pay taxes for airbnb & it would be stupid not to if you actually make good money because it is "official" and easy to track for authorities (just depends on how strict the city you live in is on it)
You could combine the walking and the pet sitting by working for Rover.com
Definitely do a video on small investments! I wouldn’t know where to start
I've tried selling my hair but all I got were con artists trying to con me out of my hair. Does anyone have tips for selling hair?
I've never had much luck with surveys. They always seem to lead to needing to go out and buy something to have something to say about what they are asking about.Anybody else had better luck?
Did anyone notice the Wealthsimple advertisement?
This might actually be my favorite video that I have seen in months!!! Sooooo fully of helpful information, THANK YOU GUYS!!!
Wealth Simple doesn't cater to African currencies but thanks for the advice. Sometimes I feel like these companies genuinely aren't trying to help African people help themselves.
What do you do if someone trashes your place or won't give back the keys when you rent it out though? That's my worry with airbnb.
Question I have for TFD is how are wealth simple management fees? You guys keep promoting wealth simple, however I have found that often these robo advisers charge more for management fees than you get in returns. As opposed to a self-directed account where you are making relatively the same decisions by yourself. I think this is especially important for low dollar account investors. I think the break even is usually around $1000. So starting an account for $1 is not as good as it seems. That being said this is a good channel and I appreciate the good financial advice.
*Sigh* Swagbucks pays in "cash" by redeeming your points for Paypal, which you can deposit to your bank account.
This is completely unrelated to your video, but how do you do your hair? It is so cute? I have super straight hair and am trying to find ways to make it look like it has more volume.
I got screwed over buying a bridesmaid dress and then being kicked out of the wedding. It's still new with tags but I can not sell it for the life of me. Does anyone know a good time to sell and a good place to sell? I've checked consignment shops and Craigslist, and most of those websites don't want formal wear
Chloe Grace Try Wedding Facebook groups!
Poshmark!
Poshmark or something similar might be your best bet if you don’t have a high end consignment shop near you :)
Pet sitting is more difficult than she made it sound but I liked the other suggestions!
With Sweatcoin you don't earn money. You earn virtual "cash" which you can only exchange to things. And you earn ca 10$a month if you are having very active life.
