Amazon Prime Day is rapidly approaching, and the holiday shopping season is about to start revving up.
Be careful not to break the bank, though.
Swap Books for Amazon Gift Cards
Have old college textbooks taking up valuable shelf space?
Probably not as good as youd like.
It always seems like an uphill battle to build (and keep) a decent amount in savings.
But what if your car breaks down, or you have a sudden medical bill?
Ask one of these companies to help…

Clean Out Your Closet
Take a hard look at your closet while youre at it.
Over the years, youve probably collected all kinds of things you dont really need anymore.
You dont need to go through the hassle of having a garage sale, either.
Try selling your items online.
Market clothes and other random knick knacks to folks in your area through an app like Letgo.
Or if you have old CDs or DVDs or even smartphones try selling them to a platform like Decluttr.
You scan your items barcodes with the app and then print out a label for free shipping.
Toss em in a box and be done with them.
Did you know?
To see if you have any unclaimed money, check with the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators.
(Beware: There are several look-a-like sites out there.
Be sure youre searching legitimate ones.)
Make Money Delivering Food
Sure, jobs are at a premium right now, but food delivery is booming.
The people stuck at home are tired of cooking so they turn to takeout.
Thats where you enter the picture.
All you better get started is your preferred mode of transportation and your smartphone.
Youll deliver things like coffee from Starbucks or food from Chipotle, Chick-fil-A or Five Guys.
Prime Day is an opportunity to kick-start your holiday shopping by scoring some deals.
Hopefully these strategies will help you pay off those sweet purchases!
(Can you sense my millennial sarcasm there?)
You know which ones were talking about: rent, utilities, cell phone bill, insurance, groceries…
