Emily's Journey:
Extra Income
This week I had a few opportunities to earn some extra cash, $70 to be exact! Last week I shared a little about picking up a new side gig and my plans for my first paycheck. First paycheck has come! Although it was only for one class I instructed, it will do the trick! The check was just enough to treat my boyfriend and me to some Chinese take-out – something I try to avoid most weeks! Plus, now I have leftovers for lunch.
I also sold another piece of clothing on Poshmark this week, which is another $20 in my bank account for a pair of leggings I haven’t worn in two years. I have a few other clothing items still for sale on a couple different websites. Since there hasn’t been much action on those remaining items, I am considering taking them to a clothing resale store if they don’t sell by the end of the month.
Summit Credit Union also announced that their Cash Boomerang was available to its members. This is an incentive Summit Credit Union offers to its members based on products and services they have with the credit union. I took advantage of the payout and put those few extra dollars into savings.
This supplemental income will slowly but surely help me reach my financial goals.
