Whats Your State Doing?
First, lets see what your state is up to.
Lets sort the states by when theyre ending the $300 weekly federal benefit.
Weve got some ideas for you to consider:
1.
Clean Out Your Closet
Take a hard look at your closet.
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.
You might be surprised by how much money you might make just from cleaning!
