Investing can seem scary and out of reach for the average person. It doesn't have to be this way! Commission fees and minimum investing amounts have dropped significantly over the last several years. In fact, with Robin Hood (free app) you can start buying stocks for free (no commission fees). While this may not take the scariness out of investing, it might minimize it due to the small dollar amounts you are working with. Scroll to the heading FREE STOCK to find out how to get an absolutely free stock right now. Really, really. I included a picture of the free stock I got when signing up! No Minimums There is no minimum when working with Robin Hood. Unlike larger companies or investment firms that require anywhere from $500 - $10,000 to open an account, Robin Hood had no requirements besides having funds available for the stocks you wish to purchase. Start with $10 or $20 to get comfortable with the idea of investing. If you don't like the idea of buying single stocks, use ...

Want to earn money while sitting around in your PJs? This is not a great rich quick scheme as you will not get rich quickly, nor will you be able to quick your day job. This will however get you some nice spending cash pretty easily. You don't have to call, email, mail, etc anything to anybody. What I'm talking about is taking surveys. For the record, I get nothing if someone signs up--no points, no money, nothing but a great feeling that I'm helping someone else earns some extra money. Pinecone is a company that I've been taking surveys through for 6 or 7 years now--they pay you and are legit I promise. For every survey you take they pay you $3 or you can pick from the wide variety of merchandise, charities, or gifts cards to suit your fancy. Seriously loads of options! I have pretty much always taking the cash (paypal) because I can't seem to decide. Plus cash can always be put towards my trip fund. The surveys are fairly quick and very simple survey to fi...

Budget! Budget! Budget! I always have to watch what I'm spending on things to make sure we can still afford to go on our big trip every year and to keep socking away money into savings for the future. This means I jump at the chance to get something, or anything, for free. Samples are amazing and they can have some pretty good ones too. Just last week I got a 7 week supply of Align probiotics. That's over $40 in savings. While most samples are not nearly this high in value, every little bit helps. There are a couple of sites I follow to find out about samples: Sampleaday and Freebiesfrenzy . They send you an email every day listing the samples available. Free things vary from stickers to coffee mugs to food, you just have to keep your eyes open for the really good ones. I found a few good samples offered today: Free PediaSure after rebate @ pediasure.com Huggies Diapers and Natural Care Wipes   2 Lipton Ice Tea K-Cups and $0.75 coupon  There are quite a...
