5. Become a flipper

No, we’re not talking about flipping houses (though you can do that if you’re an ambitious risk taker). Flipping. or reselling, involves scouting thrift stores, garage sales, and discount racks for items you think you can resell for profit. It’s a side gig that requires a good eye and some patience, but if you can tell a genuine Louis Vuitton purse from a cheap knockoff when you hit your local Goodwill, this could be a lucrative hobby. And fancy designer clothes aren’t the only thing people flip. Some people even resell dollar store items.
