Question

Ok, well my boyfriend and I just moved into our new house a few months ago. Come to find out, we are expecting our first child in December. I have a few credit cards that my boyfriend does not know about and will not find out about. He is extremely good with his money and always tells me how I spend my money foolishly which I can admit that I have but now I am very serious in trying to do away with my debt before our child comes. I am just about 5 months pregnant and was wondering if anyone had a few ideas for me to make a few extra bucks to put towards these credit cards. SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY. NO JOKES.

Thanks.

Answer 1

The question probably isn't earning more money at this point, rather it is modifying your spending habits. If you are 5 months pregnant, I can't imagine that you will be able to do much extra work with a baby on the way. So, the answer is to forgo anything that is not an absolute necessity, which will free up some extra money in your budget. I would stop using the cards ASAP, and devote every spare nickel to paying down the balances. That said, if you have any extra stuff lying around, eBay isn't a bad idea to get some cash for things you don't use. Plus you can do it from your couch if you want. I hope this helps, and good luck!
