I am an older woman ,married and live in central Florida.
I've had to learn new ways this past year to bring income in.I pray alot and God moves.That's all I know.I've had some of the most difficult situations and have had to prioritize my life,be honest with my choices and count on God to do the parts I could not do.
Some of the changes are to have just a home phone.No cell bill. The income did not support that.We almost lost our house.It was awful.
I started keeping my eyes open for things to sell on craigslist and ebay.Both brought in money,though not large amounts.
Then I realized I could rent a couple of rooms out.I'd been using them for an office and storage.I made changes which were not comfy at first but when the renters came,I felt better.Here's a little more on that ~
Consider renting out a room in your home if you need money.Remember to be the home that good people would enjoy living in.Clean,with pleasant atmosphere. It can help you with the elec.bill or even extra gas money.
Advertise on craigslist.com free ,add a pic of the room if you can.
I did this and got a wonderful renter ! We enjoy the extra $ right now,husband's job has dwindled down in hours to a standstill..we really needed to make the choice to rent out a room,an idea the Lord gave me.
Be careful,let the person know in the ad if you need a non smoker,light or no drinking and be sure to let them know in the ad that you require a picture I.D. which you also send to your local police in case there's a problem you need to know about BEFORE they move in.
A google search on their name can reveal important info too.
