With the cost of living rising, many people are looking to make a little extra cash (and in some cases, a lot of extra cash!). That’s where this post comes in.

These days, you can make money by doing things you already love, like reading books or watching TV. But it’s not all just work from home jobs; you can get money from the government that you might not know you are entitled to and seek out free stuff that you can keep or sell. You can also focus on passive income strategies through smart investing.
