If you’ve been following my 2012 Financial Goals, you know I’ve got my head down and am going full blast towards debt payoff. With school starting, it feels like New Year’s to me, so I’m committing to some new goals. I have big plans to get more sleep, exercise daily, and earn whatever extra income I can to put towards that debt. Since I’ve cut our budget as much as I can, the only option for increasing that payoff is me making money. I’ve set a goal of putting an extra $500 towards debt each month, and I have lots of ideas how to earn it. Come with me on this journey, and learn how to earn extra income for your own budget.
Starting tomorrow, I’ll share my first in a series of Making Money posts, where I share exactly how I’m earning extra income. This post will later serve as an index to the series. See you tomorrow!

I joined Swagbucks after reading one of your posts about it, so I look forward to learning about more ways to make money. Can’t wait to read your new series.
Wow, you’re planning on setting aside $500 per month towards debt repayment? That’s pretty ambitious, Gina. Can’t wait to read this full series. I’m game!
I wanted to say $1000 but wanted to set a realistic goal, especially with family visiting/traveling/holidays coming up over the next few months. Just really wanted to push myself!
Thanks for the encouragement, ladies! I definitely need it. The main reason I’m launching this series is to help others, but it also holds me accountable to do these tasks myself and get it done.
I’m so eager to be DONE with the debt payoff so we can move on to the next step!
Thanks so much, Gina! This is perfect timing. I was up half of last night contemplating this exact issue, and couldn’t really come up with anything helpful. I’m thrilled to hear what ideas you have!
Thank you Gina, I am so looking forward to this series. We are still struggling with debt, budgets, government pay raise freezes…you get the idea.
Thanks for sharing!
Are you aware that there is an ad on your feed in Google RSS asking your readers to sign a pledge to defeat Roe v. Wade? I know that sometimes bloggers have control over their ads and sometimes they don’t. Because this doesn’t seem in line with the purpose of MWM, I thought I would ask.
Thanks for letting me know. I already have political ads blocked, so I don’t know how that got through. I’ll check it out.
Looking forward to learning more as always from you! I definitely need some extra income this year for Christmas. Swagbucks here I come.
Very excited for this series! Thanks, Gina!
