Increasing Income & Benefits
There are two ways to bring home more money. You can bring in more income through a one-time activity like selling items in a garage sale or online, or learn if there are additional tax credits you can claim to increase your refund.
Or you can bring in more income or benefits on a regular basis. For example, you could get a part-time job, apply for public benefits you qualify for, or start a small business.
There are lots of ideas for ways to earn from a one-time activity or on a regular basis. Not all options will work for everyone, so focus on the ones that seem realistic for you and your family.
What to do
- Review the strategies for increasing income and benefits to see if any could work for you
- Write down ideas for how you can accomplish the strategies, like where you might look for a part-time job or when and where you might hold a garage sale
