    6 Ways to Boost Your Income.

    (Ed. Note) It’s no secret that the unemployed like to or have to save money where they can.  As such an important component of our lifestyle it was only right to team up with FrugalNYC, a premier resource for frugal city living, as we present Frugal Fridays! Enjoy.

    Living frugally can do a lot for your financial goals, and most millionaires live a little on the frugal side.  However, these millionaires also find ways to generate additional income.  If your lifestyle fits your income then you are fine.  If your lifestyle is changing but your income is not, then you need to figure out ways to generate additional income.

    There are no sure fire ways to make extra money, but here are some ideas on generating extra income to get you thinking.

    1. Go Franchise - Find a franchise you are passionate about, this could lead to success faster than starting on your own.
    2. Find a Roomate - Cut your rent in half by renting out an extra room
    3. Generate passive income - books, real estate, inventions, etc.. Find something that suites your skills and generates income for you indefinitely.
    4. Get Educated - Learn, learn and learn some more.  The more you know the more options you have.  Whether this means attending seminars or getting an MBA, do what you are passionate about.
    5. Learn To Speak - I admire people who can speak well in public.  Public speaking is a skill that few people can really master.  If you have the skills and the drive, you may have just found a great calling.
    6. Change Careers - Anyone who has been laid off in this downturn may have started thinking about changing careers.  Figure out skills that you are passionate about, perhaps one of them will lead to a higher paying career.
