It is never easy to make ends meet. You are always looking for some way to earn more.
But when things get tough, you can opt for drastic measures to tide over those difficult times. Look at a few of these ways to manage those times.
Do you really need to live here?
Are you spending a lot to travel to your workplace? Does it make economic sense to shift to a place nearby?
You may opt for a smaller place near the workplace. This way you save on your travel costs as well as the time and energy consumed during travel.
In case you can shift to another location that is slightly away from the city, do so. Here the rentals will be cheaper and you may even get a bigger house in a more peaceful environment. Meanwhile, you can put your home up on rent. This difference in rentals can be additional income for you.
Do you need such a large house?
You can look at various options here. Give up that guest bedroom. Accommodate a paying guest there. In case your children visit you only occasionally, you can put up their bedroom for rent too.
If possible, demarcate a portion of your house as a separate unit. This way you can give it up for rent to a family. You can even keep students in your house as paying guests. In case your house is near a tourist area, provide rooms to visiting tourists. You can add up breakfast and dinner on additional charges.
Another way to made ends meet is reduce your monthly expenses. You can view a complete lower your bills guide in our money management section. But first, please help us grow by giving us a quick comment/share so everyone can enjoy this helpful read.
In case you have a big garden or a large patio and lobby, you can even provide space for small parties and other functions. Just make sure that all licenses are in place while you are doing so. You should not be disturbing the neighborhood while doing so.
Provide car parks.
In big cities, car parking space is always an issue.
In case you do not have a car, provide your garage on rent to another car owner not having parking space.
In case your house is near an office space, you can provide them this facility too. You can even allow your driveway as parking space for other cars.
Organize hobby classes in your home.
You must be having certain skills that you may want to share with others. This can be in the form of cooking, sewing, writing, knitting, gardening, driving or any other. You can take up these classes at your home by putting up a board outside.
