What is a good and honest way to make extra money part-time?
I work full time. I like my job. I have kids. I like them too:) What can I do to earn extra money that won’t take a lot of time away from my kids? They are younger and go to bed around 9pm. The only time I have free is after they are in bed during the week and playing outside on the weekends. I type fast. I am a good artist and creative… just not good at finding ways to make more money.
I know a few people who have telecommtuing jobs. This is what it sounds like your looking for. Here’s a place that you can look into. If you think you qualify for the positions listed in this article, then apply for a telecommuting positions. You say you can type fast. Some of the positions require 60 WPM, 50 WPM, and 40 WPM some with a 96 percent accuracy and some don’t really say.
There’s a couple companies in this article as I was saying with different positions, some don’t have typing, some are incoming calls and some are other things.
Good Luck

does it save money to turn the a/c off during the day and then back on when you get home?
my roommate and I are in disagreement, if we leave the a/c off or turn up the thermostat so that it doesn't come on as much during the day and then turn it on when we come home in the evening, does it save money? does the a/c have to work harder and use up more electricity cool the apartment down in the evening?
The USEPA says both turning the temperature up and turning the AC completely off while you are not at home saves $$$.
The question is how much will either option save and will it be worth it.. for your comfort.
If I remember correctly simply turning the temperature up saves 2% per degree (F) that you turn it up. (so if you turn up the AC temperature from 74F to 78F you will save up to 10%.of your cooling cost.).
If you turn it up while you are away and at night and turn it down again while you are home you will save about 1/3 to 1/2 as much — depending upon how long you turn it up, etc.
In extremely high humidity your comfort may matter most because at higher temperatures you may not be comfortable and it may take much longer to cool down.
Programable thermostats are inexpensive (I have seen them as low as $25) and can be used to do this automatically — as someone else said — it can be programmed to cool your apt down an hour or so before you get home so you will not feel too much of a difference and still save $$.
As to your last question — does the AC work harder and use up more electricity when you cool down the Apt in the evening.. yes a bit. But the savings from turning it off when the temperature coasts upward AND from the lower temperature difference when you are holding your Apt at a higher temperature..should outweigh the extra electricity used when you cool it down again. (The temperature differential between inside and outside the Apt and the time this temperature differential is trying to be achieved is directly related to the cost of cooling.)

How can a teenager save their parents money?
Okay so I am trying to save my parents money. I have been doing tiny stuff such as turning off the lights when I do not hae a use for them or turning off the tv. When i go shopping I always shop sales. I want to know other ways to save money.
carpool if you have siblings that go to school at the same time that you need to be somewhere, help out by offering to babysit siblings for less than a babysitter would charge (if not free), get a part time job, there are a lot of things you can do to help. Think of some of the things that they pay other people to do and see if you could do them for cheaper as a chore or for free just to help out if they aren’t too hard.
How can I make some extra money online if I am not a US or Canadian Citizen and I do not have a credit card?
I have tried several different ways like paid to click and read emails and paid to try offers (I find that these offers are mostly available to US citizens). I have signed up with a lot of international paid survey sites, but is yet to receive an invitation to participate in a survey. I realize that a lot of the typing jobs advertised are scams. I have the time and unlimited internet connection. How can I find an online job or some way to make some extra money online, without a start up fee?
You could sell stuff on Postaroo or Craigslist.
You can post pictures and your phone number or e-mail address. It's fun.
How can I save money with the television bill?
I want to save money in regards to the television. I don't watch television, but my father does and the kids that come over do as well. What should I do to save money? Dish Network or DirecTV? Purchase DVD's for the kids to watch when they come over? I want to provide entertainment for everyone while I work on college work and business-related issues that I must deal with. So, what do you do to save money? Pay-per-view is off-limits. What about TIVO and DVRs? I want to be "frugal" in this area. Please help me in this regards. Thank you in advance.
Dish network can be very cheap if you get the basic package. Also, you can see if any of the companies are giving out free months of service for joining. You can hop between companies sometimes for as long as 6 months paying almost nothing. Sounds like stealing, but think about how much more they charge then what it's actually worth.

How can I save money on pool chemicals?
I have a 5500 gallon easy set pool that I just put up this past month.. and money is starting to get tight for me. I was wondering if anyone has had any success with using dollar store household chlorine bleach in there pool of similar size and what it cost them. I used it in my kids pools in the past ..and yes a pool professional recomended it. Please don't just say it will be too expensive.. I want people to answer whom have actually done this to save money.
Chlorine whether pool or laundry beach is sodium hypochlorite and is identical except for strength, 1.25%/6% or 12.5%. Some dimestore bleach is 1.25% and no value at all since you have to buy more of it (4.8 times and 10 times) to get the hypochlorite needed to raise the water to 1-3ppm max of 5 levels. You get what you pay for.
But if you want to figure how much hypochlorite you are buying to see who is selling at the best price then I'm all ears!
5,500 gallons for 1ppm free chlorine add 6.13oz of 12.5% sodium hypochlorite, pool chlorine or 14.08oz of 5%.
You're welcome!!
Anyone work for H&R Block? How much extra money can I really hope to make as a seasonal tax preparer in SoCal?
I keep seeing their class advertised, but am wondering if it is worth my financial investment, but more importantly, time investment? Will this class really prepare me to make some extra money? And what will the hours be like (what hours of the day will I have to be available to make a go of this?)? If anyone has information re: any of the locations close to Long Beach or the South Bay (as far away as Downey), let's talk. Thanks.
Hi. I work in Oklahoma (your area may be different), but hopefully my experiance will help you decide.
First of all, during the peak part of the season (Last third of January to about the middle of February), I worked every day (5-10 pm in the evening and 15 hours on the weekend). It was a bit hard on my family. After peek ended, the hours were cut back to a low of about 10 hours per week. They picked up again near the end of the season to about 30 per week. Since I alerayd have a full time job, I worked nights and weekends exclusivly.
Just so you're aware I (and everyone else) had to sign a non-compete clause, which stated that when I separate service I could not prepare a tax return for an H&R block client for two years within a 25 mile radius of the city limits of the town I worked in. Thus, if I didn't like working for them I can't just go work at a different tax company.
As mentioned before, the job is commission based. They gave a small draw (approx $6.50 to $7 an hour) against your commission, however. Your actually compensation starts at 19% of the paid return volume, and 15% of the optional Peace-of-Mind insurance program. During last tax season, I completed approximately 110 returns and made $4000 gross. Keep in mind I'm in Oklahoma, which has the lowest cost of living of any area, so I would expect the compensation to be higher elsewere. Besides the completed returns, I\I also had a number of returns I could not complete because they either walked (due to the cost of preparation and/or they had already done it with a tax software program and just wanted a second opinion) or I refused to complete due to obvious fraud.
Least you think I'm negative though, It was a really nice fit for myself. I didn't have to worry about issues that might occur if I tried doing tax returns on my own, such as liability issues. I also didn't have to do marketing, and didn't have to invest my own money on expenses. When I ran into issues I had not dealt with before (IE, Indian exclusion) there were a number of seasoned preparers to consult and advise on how to handle the issue. I always tried to give my clients their money worth, and because of the little things I did (such as advice for the future) I was able to get about 60% to sign up for an appointment with me next tax season (a year in advance). These are clients I won't have to share with the other preparers in my office next year.
In order to get hired on, they'll require you to take a basic income tax class class. I've got $25 off coupons I'd be willing to send. You also can contact the local office and they should offer you a discount on the class. I didn't know this and paid the full price. The class has completly changed this year. Previously it was on paper and pencil, and required about 3 hours outside of class for each instructional hour to complete all the exercies and reviews. Now however, they are advertising little work outside of class time, and you'll be learning to prepare the returns on the same computer system you'll use on the job. Around here, the classes start in September.
We also had interns, which were basically college students majoring in accounting who were doing the returns for not only cash, but college credit as well. They were treated exactly the same as 1st year preparers, including being required to sign the non-compete agreement and the same compensation.
Hopefully this helps answer your questions. Feel free to contact me if you have any follow-up questions.
What are some ways to save money on a wedding?
I am starting to plan my wedding and am wondering what are some good ways to save money? If you have any ideas that would help me please share! Or if you know of websites and such that might have some hints. Thanks!
1. reception at your house or parents house
2. DIY on everything and anything
3. Have your wedding off season
4. Order a cake just big enough for you and your hubby, and have the guests be able to eat a homemade cupcakes or sheet cake. that will cut your cost for the cake down aton
5. have a small guest list
6. make everything more casual. the more elegant, the more expensive is the way it usualy goes.
7. Consider a night othe rthan sunday. even thursday can cut costs.
8. stay in the season when choosing flowers and foods
9. choose large blooms for your flowers, rather than many little ones. choosing just one or two large flowers, such as peonies, orchids or even sunflowers will cut your costs.
10. take ceremony flowers to the reception site.
11. Do a mingle reception, you will save money on seating and be able to have just snacks and a bar rather than a sit down meal
12. rather than a bar, serve wine in passed glasses.
13. ask the dj to cut back on special effects, like lighting.
14. hire students from local universities who are in photography to do your wedding pictures. or even hire a local student band.
15. see if stationers will give youa discount for ordering all your stationary from them. i.e. thnak you cards, invitations, place cards, etc.
16. by a top of the line bridemaids dress- in white. while it may not look as extravagant as a bridal gown, you can probably find one for under 500 dollars.
