Whether you need an extra $40 for a night at the bar, need to make your rent, or quite frankly regardless of the cir
cumstances, it’s always nice to have a little extra cash lining your pockets.
Here are 4 ways to get that cash you need fast.
1. Check if you have unclaimed money lying around
It’s possible that you have unclaimed money just sitting in an old account. It surprisingly happens more often than you think. Americans currently have more than $40 billion in unclaimed funds.
You can start your search by going to MissingMoney.com, which will show if you left any money in an old checking or savings account, or if you’re entitled to unclaimed life insurance policies from relatives who have passed away.
It’s also a good idea to check with the IRS to see if there are any tax refunds you’re missing.
You can amend your previous tax returns for up to three years if you were eligible for a refund but neglected to claim it.
2. Make your hobby a side gig
Do you have a hobby? If done right, you could do it for a fee and bring in additional income.
