My hours were cut again. Anyone know how to make an extra $250 in the next few weeks so that we can stay on track with our budget?

@staffman35 do you still do this?

@prothonotary sometimes. Now that I’m working outside of the house, still doing personal assisting, and going to school!  But I want to get back into it once my schedule allows.

Doordash or any of those delivery services like that.

With doordash or UberEats or any of those, you can work when you are able to. No set schedule, you're not gonna get fired if you can't get on. This is what I would do especially if you already have a full time job.

@eozoic is it easy to win bids?  
by (3.4k points)
@franckot257 it's a numbers game. Just propose bids to as many jobs as you think you are fit for.

@presentationism312 15-20 an hour? Or total?  
by (580 points)
@temporary per hour. I would around 24 hours a week. You can work as much as you want and in any area you want. You choice your own hours if they are available. You can schedule up to a week ahead. I do it as soon as that day comes up so I know I got the schedule I want.

@presentationism312 I love because I can schedule myself but if something comes up, it's not gonna count against me.

Date night baby sitter for friends/neighbors. I've thought about this while my husband looks for a new job. Advertise you are available to watch an X amount of kids. Provide pizza for dinner. Flat rate, pick your time frame and should make some quick cash in 4-5 hours.

Pick up a serving job

You can pick up hours with a staffing company for catering. You typically get hired easily and then pick up shifts as an independent contractor so you will make usually around $100 a night serving drinks and food to people at weddings/events. ($15-20 an hour)They are always looking for people because in the food industry there is a lot of turnover and people.
