In September, we set a challenge to make and save an extra $2,020 by the end of the year as a way to beat the recession.
Last month, we made $2,704, this month had some significant health issues. So it’s a little different.

Airtasker – $885
This was an assortment of tasks from delivering flyers to some gardening.

Bank Bonus – $30
Banks regularly offer bonuses when you join. Some are paid instantly, larger ones usually require you to do a few things first.
ING often offers $100 to new accounts, Up offers $15 and uBank offers $10 to $30.
Odd Jobs – $220
Someone we did a gig for on Airtasker then referred us to a friend for an odd job.
Also, we set up a bedroom and now have been asked to do some work with a senior citizen that will be casual but ongoing.
We enjoy it, learn so much from them and it doesn’t feel like work.
Collecting Cans/Bottles – $1.50
Not huge money but every bit counts. We always have a basket or bag with us and pick up bottles and cans as we walk around.
We’ve always picked up rubbish on beaches and other wildlife areas anyway (carefully) or when diving so collecting bottles and cans is easy.
Since it is something that can be done with no effort while we are doing something else, it makes sense.
$2,000 For Next Month
This morning a 1-week gig for a new business was locked in for $2,000.
It’s different to what we’d normally do but there is potential for ongoing work from there too so we will see.
Plus, we can do our regular work at the same time! So it’s an extra amazing one but unfortunately, we can’t share many details.
Check out how we made $33,277 on the side in 12 months and 43 ways for single mums to make money.
