This year I had the goal to make $2,009 in extra income. Cute number, eh? ;) I definitely surpassed that by a lot! Although not all of it was earned income… for example tax refund is money I already earned in my salary from 2008. But you get the idea.
Extra Money in 2009:
$2,287 babysitting
$1,709 tax refund
$400 rent from roommate
$320 blogging
$300 monetary gifts
TOTAL = $5,016
These gifts and earned jobs have really helped me meet my goals this year. I’m so thankful for the opportunities that have come my way! Goal accomplished!
{photo credit… and btw I promise I didn’t do that to earn any of the above amounts. Tehe. Perhaps I should give it a try in 2010?}
That is such a clever idea. It would definitely work in a touristy metropolis such as NY or DC. People would appreciate the humor.
I love that picture! haha. Congrats on surpassing your goal. And btw- haven’t had a chance to say that I love the new blog look.
That is a great idea!! I might steal it for 2010!!
Congratulations for all the extra you’ve earned!
Wow you more than doubled your goal! That’s fantastic!! And I really like this idea, I think I might snag it and do a little $2010 for 2010!
Wow, that’s an impressive effort! Well done, and keep it up for next year!
I’m new to your blog – do you have any posts on how you get babysitting jobs? That’s something I’d love to get back into! Great idea, and congrats on beating your own goals. :)

I have a weekly job once a week for a 10year old boy and random weekend/weeknight jobs, so I don’t use those sites anymore. I have found babysitting to be the BEST way to make extra cash, especially if they’re evening jobs. You put them to bed, then get paid to watch TV the rest of the time! :)
