1. Sell Your Stuff

This is the fastest way (and probably the easiest way) to get some cash. Who doesn’t have a few things the could stand to get rid of?

We sold a whole lot of stuff last summer while we were both unemployed and that extra cash helped a lot!

We’ve sold on Craigslist a few times, but I prefer to sell on Facebook resale sites when possible. The small town we used to live in had multiple Facebook groups that you could join if you lived in the area and people posted all kinds of things to sell. We usually sold things very quickly and for the price we wanted. Plus, it felt safer because you knew who you were dealing with.

I only go through the effort of selling items that are worth $10 or more, but I’ve seen people sell individual pieces of clothing and I’m sure those small amounts really add up.

If you’re trying to sell stuff, I’d definitely see if there are local selling groups to try out if you’re not a big fan of Craigslist.
