We previously wrote about cutting down your expenses to save more money.
Of course, the alternative way is to simply increase your income. If you are really serious about being wealthy, you should focus on both increasing your income and decreasing your expenses.
We recently ran a series of financial literacy workshops for young mothers. The most common ways for these young single mothers to increase their income include:
- Picking up another shift or working overtime.
- Considering if there are other higher paying jobs available
- Considering the possibility of a second job
- Renting out the spare room or granny flat
- Teaching or tutoring others
- Baby sitting other children
- Starting a business
If you have any more ideas, why not share them?

A friend of mine recently became a doctor. He sees many people each day. Each with different ailments and conditions - all looking for the answer.
Everyone has their own ‘unique’ problems that (just so happens to be) worse than everyone elses.
So everyone is looking for the cure. Not a treatment. But a solution to their problems.
But there isn’t one. Those who advertise fantastic offers are lying. Those who promise to solve all your money problems overnight are lying too. But that’s not their problem. It’s simply what sells.
Instead, there’s only the treatment. And in the case of debt, treatment is long, ugly, and brutal. But trust me, you’ll get there one day. I promise.
