Make Money by Living a Simpler Life

This might sound strange, but if you make different life choices, chances are that you can save hundreds maybe even thousands of dollars each month. Here are several ways that you can make your life simpler and make some extra coin in the process.


68. Sell your car


Can you trade your car in for a cheaper model, or do without a car altogether by walking or using public transportation? If so, consider selling your car for some fast cash in your pocket.


69. Downsize your housing


Can you make do with a smaller room, apartment or house? If so, see if you can find cheaper housing in order to cut down on housing costs. If you have your own apartment, switch to a 2-bedroom and get a roommate. Or trade in your big house for something smaller.


70. Sell your gold or other jewelry


Consider selling that gold or other jewelry that you really don't need (or maybe even want) in order to get some fast cash in your pocket. Pawn shops or jewelry shops will often buy your fine jewelry from you.


71. Sell clothing you no longer wear at a garage sale, on eBay or on consignment


Do you have a closet overflowing with clothes and shoes? Consider a minimalist approach and scale down your wardrobe, selling the items you no longer want at a garage sale or at a local consignment shop.


72. Clean out your garage/storage area and sell your stuff


How many hundreds (or thousands) of dollars of stuff is sitting in your garage or storage attic waiting for someday ? You might think it's worthless junk, but as the old saying goes, one man's trash is another man's treasure. See what you can find in your attic or garage that might do somebody else some good and sell it for a great price.
